À propos de cet audio
Service at the Red Rooster Inn isn't what you'd call "good," or even "adequate." Darin would be the first to say so, and he owns the place. Evie isn't much of a barmaid; Kat's home brewed ale seems to grow less palatable with each new batch; and Seraphina's service at the bar leaves much to be desired. As for the bouncer, Big Tom, well, everyone learns right quick to stay on his good side.
They may be bad at running an inn, but they're the best team of con artists in the Old Queendom. When a prospective client approaches Darin with a high-paying job, he knows he should refuse. But the job is boosting a shipment of priceless imperial dream wine, the most coveted and expensive drink in the world. And, thanks to a stretch of bad luck, he's in deep to The Dame, who oversees criminal enterprises in this part of the Queendom.
If they fail, they're as good as dead, but if they succeed . . . well, it's enough money to get square with the Dame and make all of their dreams come true. Plus, it's an option for Darin to stick it to the empress, who he has good reason to despise.
Then again, there's a very good reason no one has ever stolen imperial dream wine . . .
Contains mature themes.
©2022 Dan Koboldt (P)2022 TantorThe basic idea is familiar. A group of rogues is given an impossible task with significant consequences if they fail. There is interesting world building. The characters have some depth and you get invested in their struggles.
There are rough similarities to the "Lies of Locke Lamora" books for the thieving and conning anti-hero thing and the overall atmosphere but I think this one is less bleak and a little more grounded.
The substance of the book is basically watching them plan and execute a heist. It's enjoyable to see how they work through the various obstacles. The team is great and it's all a fun time. There are nice little touches throughout.
It's worth your time. The narrator has somewhat of a unique voice and does a good job with the different characters.
