About this listen
A Hugo and Nebula Award finalist, New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb is hailed by the Baltimore Sun as a “master fantasist.” Shaman’s Crossing begins her epic Soldier Son Trilogy.
The second son of a recently titled nobleman, Nevare Burvelle survives the King’s Cavalla Academy—where nepotism and corruption reign—to become a soldier in the Gernian king’s army. As he and his fellow soldiers are thrust onto the front lines of the king’s brutal territorial expansion campaign, they struggle against the Plainspeople—forest-dwellers who possess a powerful magic long dismissed by the Gernians. These rebels refuse to bow to the king’s tyranny. And as the battles rage, dangerous thoughts invade Nevare’s consciousness, forcing him to question his role in the army—and the life he’s always known.
Hobb doesn’t disappoint with this intricate fantasy tale featuring larger-than-life characters and exotic landscapes.

Totally not sure how to rate this.
It starts out pretty good, adventure, interesting character, fantasy, magic. But somewhere it took a darker turn. Some of the story is very intriguing but I just didn't like where it went.

More fantastic prose from my favourite fantasy writer
A wonderful sorry written beautifully. If you are a fan of Robin Hobb, this is a must read. Be warned it’s a different world than her Realm of the Elderlings series, but it’s a great story wit great characters.

A bit dry in the beginning but enjoyed the ending. Robin Hobb always leaves great breadcrumbs that come to fruition that doesn’t disappoint

Has become one of my favourite authors
I’ve read Robin Hobb’s other series and am so glad that this one also lives up to the standard of storytelling that I’ve enjoyed.
It’s so refreshing to find an original idea. I hope Robin keeps them coming!

just slow and boring
it's always a shame when a good writer falls victim to the way publisher pay by the word it becomes very evident because instead of enjoying the books you find yourself wishing for it to end I've liked Robin Hobbs series but this one is truly boring avoid it and save yourself the time and money. when writing builds a story and a framework it's okay to have lots of detail but when describing someone's day with such detail it just becomes a very dry read. I suspect books 1 to 3 should have been one book and they loaded it with filler and made it three.
