The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan
2.0
I listened to this on audio, and I fear it may have affected my opinion of it. I really wanted to like it, but found that I was underwhelmed. But a lot of that had to do with the reading of it.. The reader just wasn't my cup of tea. I tried hard to separate the story from the reader, but it was hard not to let the story become a little tainted.
Overall it was a nice little story.. But it seemed a little generic to me. Thieves, assassinations, a quest, a mysterious powerful wizard, been there and done that. That said, I'm usually a fan of plots like that. I happen to like a lot of traditional fantasy. But this one just didn't do it for me, for whatever reason.
Two stars for now (keep in mind two stars means I thought it was "ok", it's not as bad as it sounds), although I'd like to someday go back and actually read it to see if I like it more in print. I am planning on continuing on in the series, but no more audio for me.
