When The Far Pavilions was first published 19 years ago, it moved the critic Edmund Fuller to write this: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gond With the Wind." From its beginning in the foothills of the towering Himalayas, M. M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich, and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction.

Far Pavilions… Great Story! Great Narration!!
Revisado: 07-07-24
The full length story with ebbs and flows. The growth and development of the characters over time was satisfying and frustrating but was well done.
This story helps us remember that life is not always fair and yet there are triumphs.

The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. Now it's 1910, and the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love—even where they’re not supposed to.

Loved seeing Black people enjoying and dealing with life in the early 20th century. Here is a picture of how well we can do it when we remember our strength and where we came from.
Good narration! The next book is in my wish list

Minalan the Spellmonger has a problem: Mycin Amana, the undead consort of Korbal the Necromancer, is not only occupying one of the largest castles in the kingdom; she’s also occupying the recently-dead body of his former lover, rapist, and mother of his children, Isily of Greenflower. As the crises in the heart of the kingdom grows, Minalan is tasked to force the so-called Witch Queen of Darkfaller from her new stronghold using any means necessary. Unfortunately, the castle belongs to his rival in the royal court and future monarch Prince Tavard, whose ideas are doomed to failure.

With the south in full rebellion, the goblins stirring on the northern frontier, and the summer capital being run by a corrupt baron and a gang of thugs, things could be better. But those aren’t the worst of her problems: Pentandra is learning how to live with her new husband, Arborn, while the town is driven to distraction by an incarnate sex goddess who is organizing all of the whores, a mopey spellmonger, a nun addicted to gambling, a prude sent by the queen, undead skulking through the shadows, and a mysterious blind girl shows up in her office claiming to be her new apprentice.

I Don't usually write reviews but I just wanted to add an amen to all of the very positive feed back that this series is getting. Great story, world building, characters, and narrator!
I am downloading the next book with some sadness that I will have to wait I don't know how long for the book after that.

Revisado: 07-24-12
What did you love best about The Quest of the Silver Fleece?
There is no sequel...I would have loved to see the next generation.
What did you like best about this story?
Each character found their way into my heart or became the objects of my disdain and those mattered were human enough to change and grow. He showed life is as it is not as we wish it but yet we have the capacity to change things with enough heart and courage. My interest definitely been revived in this subject matter. Our country should never forget the genesis of our racial struggles so that we do not repeat that evils of our past.
Have you listened to any of Peter Jay Fernandez’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Great Narrator!!!
If you could take any character from The Quest of the Silver Fleece out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Nothing at all...
Any additional comments?
Du Bois is under read and under spoken of...
