Summary
Book two in the magnificent Empire Trilogy by best-selling authors Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts.
Nobody knows how to play the Game of the Council better than Mara of the Acoma. Through bloody political manoeuvring she has become a powerful force within the Empire; but surrounded by deadly rivals, Mara has to be the best simply to stay alive. But Lady Mara must contend with battles on two fronts: in the hotbed of intrigue and treachery that is the court of Tsurani; and in her heart, where her affection for a barbarian slave from the enemy world of Midkemia leads her to question the principles by which she lives.
Servant of the Empire is the second in Feist and Wurts' wonderful epic trilogy - one of the most successful fantasy collaborations of all time. The trilogy concludes with the third book, Mistress of the Empire.

such an exciting and intrigueing story!
loved the setup and details of the complex politics and traditions that are only touched slightly in the initial rift war saga, these follow ups from Akoma perspective are very cool to experience.

A Well-Written and Satisfying Story
I love the Riftwar Cycle series and always found the Kelewan world interesting since it was first featured in Magician. I enjoyed this story more than the first book in The Empire Trilogy and found myself (like I did when reading the original Riftwar trilogy) longing for the next time I could listen.
I was intrigued and intently listening to all parts which linked back to Magician and Darkness of Sethanon (Shinzawai, Malamba’s fury at the games, defeat of the enemy) and how these events alongside Kevin’s influence helped reshape the empire of Tsuranuanni. It covered a very long timeline spanning all 3 books in the original trilogy and beyond.
Mara’s story is well-written and this book also made a good job of presenting other fascinating characters. Kevin provided a good link back to Midkemia and their love story, although a bit unbelievable at times considering the Tsurani culture, was heart-warming and sad when he departed.
I was bereft when I finished the original Riftwar Saga and apprehensive about reading the Empire Trilogy because I wasn’t sure I could immerse myself into the world in the same way. However, I have done so and I look forward to reading the final instalment. I’m somewhat intrigued where the story can go now with the Minwanabi defeated. Maybe Jiro of the Anasati still plans something. Let’s see.

The perfect narrator for the greatest trilogy
Servant of the Empire is a great book in a trilogy of great books and the narrator Tanya Rodriguez is truly a fitting voice for both Mara of the acoma and for this setting and I really enjoyed listening to this book by Raymond E Feist and Janny Wurts
