Summary
Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor.

An enjoyable first instalment
A solid introduction to an intricate and wonderful new world, But the characters are what make this story. And you keep reading for them.

Enjoyable read, interesting and evolving storyline
I like the characters and their relationships, the world building is good and there isn't a straight line plot. I like the mini-adventure almost side quest like plot style.
Narration is overall quite good, I'd prefer the characters (especially the main ones) to sound a little more distinct.
One annoying thing which I can't stop hearing is the mispronunciation of 'quay'. The voice actor pronounces it as "kway" rather than "key" and it grates a little.

Not a complete story
Although it had some slow patches, this was quite an enjoyable romp and Seregil is definitely a compelling character. Under normal circumstances I'd have given it four stars. However, what spoiled it a bit for me was that nothing really got resolved at the end. It's part of a series, but it doesn't stand alone as a complete story in it's own right. If you want to know the answers to the major questions you're going to have to get the rest of the series. And I didn't enjoy it *that* much that I'm dashing to read the rest. So, all in all, it was a bit let-down at the end.

Great characters, plot and universe.
Loved it, the politics, action and characters were all really interesting.
The narrator was also really good, you could easily distinguish between the characters.

An Absolute Tragedy.
What would have made Luck in the Shadows better?
Another Narrator. Victor Bevine, Nick Podehl, Kevin Stillwell or Andrew Wincott perhaps.
What did you like best about this story?
I just couldn't stand to listen for long enough to get to know what the story was about, so I don't know.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
He was reading about someone being tortured in a sing-song voice, as though he was reading Noddy in Toy Town.I could have cried. I have looked forward to listening to these books for a long time. I managed to get hold of the Tamir Trilogy, by Lynn Flewelling, on Audio CD and it was brilliant, but then it was narrated by Victor Bevine, who is awesome.
What character would you cut from Luck in the Shadows?
Not A clue. In the short time I could stand to listen, there were only three characters, and I didn't find out enough about them to make any judgment.
Any additional comments?
I am utterly heartsick. This is yet another series of books destroyed by a terrible narrator. I will read the printed version and I'm sure I'll enjoy them, as Lynn Flewelling is one of my favorite authors.
