The Jester (A Riyria Chronicles Tale)

By: Michael J. Sullivan
Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds

Publisher's Summary

WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH?

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A thief, a candlemaker, an ex-mercenary, and a pig farmer walk into a trap…and what happens to them is no joke. When Riyria is hired to retrieve a jester’s treasure, Royce and Hadrian must match wits with a dwarf who proves to be anything but a fool. Difficult choices will need to be made, and in the end those who laugh last do so because they are the only ones to survive.

This is a standalone short story of 7,200 words. No prior knowledge of The Riyria Revelations or The Riyria Chronicles is required to enjoy it to its fullest, making this a perfect introduction for new readers or a chance for Riyria veterans to spend a little more time with old friends. The Jester is a story of adventure, bonds of friendship, and a recognition that the choices we make dictates the future we find.

An advert to the series

Plenty of tie ins for riyria listeners. Nice complete clever story arc. On the whole it felt like an advert for the rest of the series, introducing characters and referring to other adventures. As a Riyria fan, I enjoyed it.

Need to read rest of series

I know it says this is a standalone read, but I felt a lot was missing with not having read the other books in the series. Narration was good.

Fast paced

Great fast-paced little Riyria adventure- I wanted more. You don't need all the backstory - it's all about our heroes getting out of a sticky situation and it's good because their personalities shine through!
