Summary
The demon has been defeated and the Kingdom rejoices as the threat to the existence of every living thing on Midkemia has passed, but out of the ashes of war new problems arise, in the brilliant sequel to Rage of a Demon King…The demon is no more…The enemy has been routed, yet peace still eludes the Kingdom. Midkemia lies in smouldering ruins following the Demon King's siege. Many lives have been lost, including that of the brave James, Duke of Krondor.
As the people turn their hands to rebuilding their once great nation, a new threat arises from the ashes of war: the fearsome Fadawah, former Commanding General of the Army of the Emerald Queen. He has grasped the fallen reins of command and seeks to forge a personal empire out of the wreckage of the Western Realm. And so it falls to two young men - Jimmy and Dash - grandsons of the late Duke, to gather together the shards of the broken crown and resurrect the Kingdom to its former glory.
Shards of a Broken Crown is the fourth and concluding book of the Serpentwar Saga.

Slow start, but classic Feist, a must read
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The entire series is incredible, The characters are so strong you cant help but love them all.
What other book might you compare Shards of a Broken Crown to, and why?
The other Fiest books.
Have you listened to any of Peter Joyce’s other performances? How does this one compare?
In my personal opinion Fiest nails it and brings so much personality to the characters especially Nakor
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would listen to them all in one sitting if I could
Any additional comments?
Despite a slow start and a bit of "politics" a strong middle and great end, would get 5 stars if there was more action but that's my personal taste there is no questioning the story and performance.

Dragged out a lot
With these 4 books the plot is good but stretched very thin. However the story telling is good. The narration is excellent. Could very easily be condensed into two books. The ending of the fourth was quick, predictable and leaves an opening for more books of the same theme. The author is great at story telling and gets away with it

My least favourite of the 4 but worth listening to.
The final book felt a little rushed towards the end and magic seemed an easy resolution but overall still enjoyable and glad I listened to it. I loved Eric, Ru, Dash and James I’d love to read more about their characters.

An Epic, Brilliantly Read
Raymond Feist is a true magician, proving Nakor’s assertion, of there being no magic, incorrect. Peter Joyce, another magician, skilfully brings this incredible land, and the stories within, to life.

More of the same.
Although entertaining the story gets very repetative. It's almost the same story as the previous books. But most annoying is the inability of Peter Joyce to pronounce words with ea like "year". Would he do that with only one of the characters I would find it brilliant because it would make that voice more individual. But allas they all have the same speech impediment and say "yur" instead of "year". But on the positive side, his differenciation between the voices of the characters is pretty good.

A great listen!
I enjoyed the series but after binge listening to the first part of the series I waited for a couple of months before listening to the final book - an excellent ending!

You become invested
As you follow the rift war characters over the generations you truly become fond of characters as Feist lays out his story on epic proportions. I will say that the plot is drawn out somewhat over 4 books. However, Peter Joyce is like a familiar friend now, through my headphones, and he paints a picture in the mind’s eye of bloody battles, spy networks and complex magical theory.

A Mixed Bag from Feist
Peter Joyce's narration of Raymond Feist's work remains excellent with clear differentiation between characters and well placed inflection.
Unfortunately the story isn't as strong as the other entries in the series. This book is a classic case of needing to tie up loose ends with a less compelling plot. This is made worse by the dubious editing job for the book with frequent inconsistencies in the dialogue, for example characters worrying about something they have already mentioned to the character they are talking with.
