A Traitor in Skyhold

Mage Errant, Book 3

By: John Bierce

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

Hugh and his friends have, to his great displeasure, become the center of attention among the student body at Skyhold.

It turns out that surviving the depths of the labyrinth and helping stop a coup both tend to attract notice. If Hugh had his way, he'd happily go back to being just another anonymous student. He has more than enough to deal with already as he starts his second year, between his crushing load of schoolwork, training as a prospective candidate to the Librarians Errant, and navigating a long distance relationship.

Oh, and the fact that Hugh and company have been dragged into trying to catch a traitor on the Skyhold Council doesn't make life any easier. Nor does it help that the traitor is working with the demon Bakori, who lurks in the depths of the labyrinth below Skyhold, waiting for his chance at revenge.

Was good a book.

many of the non MCs voice's sounded alike, but otherwise it was Great! This did make me have to listen much closer to follow along.

When......?

My 5th time listening. When is the next one. I would like more please. Thank you

Great story!

I enjoyed this book and its predecessor. They took me to a far off land and held me captive while i surmised their plot. I love fantasy and these books drew me into a realm i could relate with. Well done.

Decent YA story w predictable accents

I like the overall story and characters in this novel and series. One problem I do have is the representation of the BBEG as someone clearly of middle eastern origin, given the accent. While the UK regions represented had fairly predictable accents (which one may also challenge), it somehow felt wrong to give the voice of the ultimate, reviled bad guy a middle eastern accent.

The demonization (no pun intended) of folks from this region is based on historical conflict with Europe, to be sure. But this stereotype doesn’t need to be propagated amongst today’s YA novel readership anymore than a mermaid needs to be white.

Superb. Exciting. Great character development.

Just as good as or better than Mage Errant. Excellent character variety & surprising twists. A very satisfying read/listen. There is enough there that I want to listen again soon to catch more of the subtle hints & clues. I'm hooked, hoping there's a 3rd & 4th & . . . book(s) SOON!

Amazing

I loved everything about this book and the narration. Am going to purchase these books and gift them to my nephew to read.

a good one

A bit slow in the middle but this book still served the story well.

Good performance as in the previous book

An Attention-Grabbing Roller Coaster

Not only can this audiobook hold your attention for hours, it makes you regret putting it down. The twists and turns, the subtle changes in the fabric of the narrative, the sculpting of a far grander story, and time and attention paid to each character are all integral part of this series. I am very much so looking forward to the next book in the series and the adventure that is too come for our 4 young apprentices.

Last book in series. It dragged

I really enjoyed this book series.
I however found that in this last book, everything was just too repetitive like a board game. The end stand off was good.
If he comes out with another in the series, try not to make it so repetitive at times.

Well done, engaging story with diverse characters

Loved it! the characters are developed and storyline moves along well- not a deep story but still a good one. Great reader
