"The story touches on many familiar fantasy plot points—magic, an ancient language, an ability to commune with wild creatures, a climactic battle between the forces of good and evil—yet manages to be satisfying. It’s aided by a capable reading from Barber, who invests Rollins’ characters with a variety of British accents that help make each a distinguishable, real person."- The Providence Journal
This audiobook includes a special introduction written and read by James Rollins.
An alliance embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the secrets of the distant past and save their world in this captivating, deeply visionary adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling thriller-master James Rollins.
A gifted student foretells an apocalypse. Her reward is a sentence of death.
Fleeing into the unknown, she is drawn into a team of outcasts:
A broken soldier, who once again takes up the weapons he’s forbidden to wield and carves a trail back home.
A drunken prince, who steps out from his beloved brother's shadow and claims a purpose of his own.
An imprisoned thief, who escapes the crushing dark and discovers a gleaming artifact—one that will ignite a power struggle across the globe.
On the run, hunted by enemies old and new, they must learn to trust each other in order to survive in a world evolved in strange, beautiful, and deadly ways, and uncover ancient secrets that hold the key to their salvation.
But with each passing moment, doom draws closer.

I can see why Rollins is popular with fans of thriller and adventure books. He seems to be a very skilled writer. I found myself being pulled in by the story right away. If you're a fan of fantasy as I am, you know it can often be difficult to find good books due to the overwhelming output of poorly written Tolkien and Jordan clones and the well worn tropes that go with them. Throw in roomantacies, borderline YA fantasies, and video game fantasy, drudging up a good series becomes almost impossible at times. While the The Starless Crown touches on some well used themes of fantasy such as "coming of age" and the "school of magic", it doesn't dwell on them or turn the story into a teenage angst story wrapped in fantasy clothes. I found The Starless Crown to be an intelligently written and unique fantasy story for adults.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I am moving on to book two of the series. I see some complaints about the narration in some of the other reviews, but I honestly think Nicola Barber does an excellent job here, and she is the reason I took a chance on this book in the first place. So, if you are like me and wondering why James Rollins has popped up in your recommendations, but you are looking for a good well written fantasy book, give this a try.
