About this listen

Four decades after the Oblivion Crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an ancient and all-consuming evil. It is Umbriel, a floating city that casts a terrifying shadow-for wherever it falls, people die and rise again. And it is in Umbriel's shadow that a great adventure begins and a group of unlikely heroes meet. A legendary prince with a secret. A spy on the trail of a vast conspiracy. A mage obsessed with his desire for revenge. And Annaïg, a young girl in whose hands the fate of Tamriel may rest.

Great Elder Scrolls story.

Great story. Fills in a lot of blanks and more back story on what happened to The Red Mountain and Vivec.

Great book for fans of Elder Scrolls.

Great book for fans of Elder Scrolls games and lore. Paid plenty of homage to the set lore. As well the story was engaging.

Generic Young Adult fantasy

Despite being published under the Elder Scrolls name, precious little of the extensive lore of Tamriel is used in this book. The story of a plucky teenage girl in an evil city and the prince disobeying his father to rescue her is so tedious that I couldn't reach the end, which apparently is just a cliffhanger for the second book. As for the narrator, he did a serviceable job until the prince. Unfortunately he chose to voice this character with a waver that was reminiscent of Dudley DooRight. Best to avoid the whole thing.
