The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter

By: Michael J. Sullivan

Narrated by: Michael J. Sullivan, Tim Gerard Reynolds

"The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding." — AudioFile Magazine

A daughter vanishes. Two rogues are paid a fortune to find her. It isn't enough.

When Gabriel Winter's daughter mysteriously disappears and is presumed dead, the wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge. Having lived in Colnora during the infamous Year of Fear, he hires the one man he knows can deliver a bloody retribution — the notorious Duster.

Ride with Royce and Hadrian as the cynical ex-assassin and idealistic ex-mercenary travel to a mysterious old-world city filled with nobles claiming descent from imperial aristocracy. Riyria's job appears easy: discover what happened to the missing duchess and, if she lives, bring her home...if not, punish those responsible. But nothing is simple in the crowded, narrow, mist-filled streets of Rochelle, where more than one ancient legend lurks.

Critic reviews

"Fans will rejoice in Tim Gerard Reynolds's return to narrate the latest adult fantasy featuring professional thieves Hadrian and Royce. The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding. Reynolds's sense of the heroes' personalities makes the bantering dialogue a joy to hear and enhances the tale's humor and emotional depths." (AudioFile)

MJS is great, the audio; not so much

The story is great, though I wouldn’t put it at the top of MJS’ works. My preference would be to see this storyline conclude and to focus on the Novron timeline and possibly a post Riyria timeline.

This book needs to be re-recorded. The second half of the book has frequent patches where the sound is distorted. One minute the audio is fine and the next it sounds like they are reading through a paper towel cylinder.

They're Baaack...!

What about Tim Gerard Reynolds and Michael J. Sullivan ’s performance did you like?

Tim Gerard Reynolds should be in Audible's Narrator Hall of Fame. Michael J. Sullivan takes us on another epic adventure with my favorite duo. Delving ever deeper into Ryiras history gap MJS spins gold and TGR brings it to life! Oh how I hope MJS keeps writing these I've had it on pre order for the past 5 months!!

Relatively mediocre

Not one of his best in the series. I wanted to like it but unfortunately it didn't work out.

As Excellent As Ever

One has to truly appreciate how the tales within this world stay fresh, exciting, and utterly engrossing... Imo one of the best of either Revelations or Chronicles... Particularly delightful is the stories within stories within stories layering,both obvious and not so, and how they link up and pass by one another... Foundationally a micro and macro look at the haves and have nots, flavored and accented w/ a compelling mystery, expectedly great characters old and new, and some outta the park banter and whimsy... Found myself constantly annoyed when the outside world intruded, but sunk down deeper and kept taking it in... Worth the wait!!

Not the best in the series, but still very good

Any additional comments?

I wish I knew the timeline of the book when I first started listening, but I did enjoy this installment.

A lot of people have mentioned the edits in the audio. As someone who has a recording studio, I am amazed that the editors let this slide. It was very sloppy. Obviously, the edits were done at a different location(sounds like they did it in someone's bedroom) and using non professional equipment..

While it is difficult to match quality with overdubs done at a different location exactly, it could have been done a lot better. I it sounded like very little effort was put into the attempt.
