About this listen
The Underworld rules the city of Veldaren. Thieves, smugglers, assassins...they fear only one man.
Thren Felhorn is the greatest assassin of his time. All the thieves' guilds of the city are under his unflinching control. If he has his way, death will soon spill out from the shadows and into the streets.
Aaron is Thren's son, trained to be heir to his father's criminal empire. He's cold, ruthless - everything an assassin should be. But when Aaron risks his life to protect a priest's daughter from his own guild, he glimpses a world beyond poison, daggers and the iron rule of his father.
Assassin or protector; every choice has its consequences.
Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power.

still a favourite
I love this book and thought I would also enjoy the narrated version too, which i did - the accents were hysterical though and a little off putting !!

BAD NARRATION GOOD STORY
Would you listen to A Dance of Cloaks again? Why?
Excellent story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Dance of Cloaks?
Just very enjoyable. I do not want to spoil the story.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Elijah Alexander?
Not Sure but The guy who does game of thrones or Michael Krammer would have been spot on.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes at times.
Any additional comments?
Good story. Am sad that the whole series is narrated by the same actor.

Ruined by the narrator
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend the physical copy. The story has some nice parts to it but the narration is so offensively bad that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. This is the first time in several years as an Audible member that I've abandoned a book.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Accents are awful, attempts at voices are indistinguishable from one another most of the time and no tension, emotions or anything else that you'd want from a book come through in the reading.

Good story, terrible voice acting
Interesting story, well written characters. why did the American narrator feel the need to do half Scottish half Jamaican accents for most of the characters and the rest a mix of Ugandan and Australian. So bad it almost ruined the book.

Good story if you can live with the narration
The narrator's use of accents is very off putting, but also somewhat hilarious.
I think some are attempts at Scottish, Irish, Russian and maybe German during dialogue. Difficult to distinguish between some characters to the point he might as well not have bothered.
