    About this audiobook

    The second book in Raymond E. Feist’s super-selling quartet: The Serpentwar Saga.

    Triumphant but overconfident after his defeat of the reptilian Sauur army, Roo must resist a beguiling seductress who threatens to undo him and all of Midkemia.

    Recently returned from a harrowing brush with the armies of the Emerald Queen, Roo is now free to choose his own destiny and his ultimate ambition is to become one of the richest and most powerful merchants in Midkemia.

    But nothing can prepare him for the dangers of the new life he has chosen, where the repayment of a debt can be as deadly as a knife in the shadows. Even those closest to him are suspect and as Roo struggles to build his financial empire, betrayal is always close at hand.

    But while Roo works towards achieving his goal, memories of the invasion haunt him still. For the war with the Emerald Queen is far from over and the inevitable confrontation will pose the biggest threat yet to his newfound wealth and power.

    Rise of a Merchant Prince is the second book in the Serpentwar Saga. Rage of a Demon King is the third book in the quartet.

      This was my least favorite book in the series. I just wasn't really interested in Roo's story or the despicable fellow he became. I wouldn't reread this book. Books 3 and 4 are where the good stuff happens in this series.

    • 5/5
      Well written book I enjoyed all the backhanded ways Roo makes his money but did not enjoy his handling of his wife, that section did not sit well with me and I was glad it was solved by the end of the book. Overall a decent book but least loved of this trilogy.
    • 4/5
      The action in this book shifts back to Krondor for a bit, as one of the heroes to be continues his training and assistance to the kingdom. Roo wants no part of serving the government, and instead wants to become rich. During the course of getting rich he finds that keeping the Kingdom in one piece is what's best for business too.
    • 3/5
      I didn't like the books of the Serpentwar Saga as much as the original trilogy, and don't actually remember much about them beyond the fact that I did enjoy reading them.
    • 5/5
      These books are a real treasure. I have all the books just to be sure I can read them again in the future ?
    • 3/5
      What I greatly respect about Raymond is his ability to make every book and every perspective fresh, within the same world. Granted, I greatly dislike the main perspective in this book (Rupert), but Raymond still does a great job making you love to hate him, and hating that the world relies on him. Greatly narrated.
