Summary

Living among the Sachakan rebels, Lorkin does his best to learn about them and their unique magic. But the Traitors are reluctant to trade their knowledge for the Healing they so desperately want, and while he assumes they fear revealing their existence to the world, there are hints they have bigger plans.

Sonea searches for the rogue, knowing that Cery cannot avoid assassination forever, but the rouge's influence over the city's underworld is far greater than she feared. His only weakness is the loss of his mother, now locked away in the Lookout.

In Sachaka, Dannyl has lost the respect of the Sachakan elite for letting Lorkin join the Traitors. The Ashaki's attention has shifted, instead, to the new Elyne Ambassador, a man Dannyl knows all too well.

And in the University, two female novices are about to remind the Guild that sometimes their greatest enemy is found within.

Also listen to the first book, The Ambassador's Mission.

the narration spoiled an otherwise good book

if you like fantasy this author delivers a great story with great imagination. the landscape is somehow familiar yet intriguingly different. there is a pace and excitement to the novel. the narrator is however quite awful lacking any real variation oif tone and making every character sound the same,

Story still is nice & continues well :-)

As the previous instalments, I found The Rogue to be very enjoyable. Characters develop further, and fascinating new ones appear; and even the plot still offers some nicely surprising twists.
As before, I have much appreciation for the narrators efforts, yet still have not become used to his grating voice, which therefore slightly lessens my pleasure of listening.

Great Plot

Thought the story was great, very intriguing and looking forward to the next installment. Initially I wasn't a massive fan of the narration but after a few chapters I actually found I enjoyed it, so if you are having doubts hang in there.

Great!

I have read the entire trilogy, they are great books that keep you interested enough to go on to the next book, instead of giving up after the first one. I disagree with other reviews that said the narrator was bad, I think he was good, you did not constantly think about him but the story and that to me is a mark of a good narrator. The book is gripping and the characters are great. I am of course biased because I have read other trudi canavan books and just love her.

Great book. Lovely voice

I really enjoyed listening to this book, I was easily able to understand the characters and the narrator was able to pull me in and keep me entralled.

Pronunciation is annoying

The narrator says “esca-pee” rather than escape-ee (escapee). And Son-ee-ah for Sonia (Sonya). Amongst a myriad of other oddities. It’s like listening to South Africans trying to speak English.
Story is slow, but you’ll expect that if you’re used to this author.
Generally the first 2 books in each series are setups to the 3rd which is usually pretty good. I’d recommend it if you can get past these small issues. Then narrator does his best to use accents, so it’s alright once you’re used to it.

oh dear

I really enjoy Trudi Canavan and own all her books in text format. Listening to this book was painful. The narrator drones and I just couldn't listen past the first couple if chapters. I tried but sorry no cookie for the performance.

'Wild' story, well read.

Yet another great story from Trudi Canavan, I can't wait to read the final installment.

Narration was good

I’ve read a few other reviews and after my second listen to this book I still find the book enjoyable and the voices are great!
