When the jealous high priest of Enki murders the king during a holy festival and stages a takeover of the palace, Crown Prince Ammon-shur must flee for his life with nothing more than the clothes on his back. His faithful bodyguard, Balashi, saves him from capture and death at the hands of his enemies, and together the two make their way to the ancient city of Uruk, home of the ancient and powerful temple of Inanna.

If you could sum up The Prince of Eridu in three words, what would they be?
Jesse Hudson has an amazing ability to tell a story. His book captures your imagination right from the beginning and doesn't let you go until the very end and then it just leaves you wanting more which doesn't always happen with every book you read.
What other book might you compare The Prince of Eridu to and why?
I would compare this book to the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and The Assassins Apprentice by Robin Hobb and The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson just to name a few other books that are at the same level of storytelling as this book is at.
What does Austin Vanfleet bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
You are really able to feel the emotions and the complexity of the characters through Austin's voice and intonations which adds additional depth to the story. Austin really does an amazing job in this book. He is a world class narrator!
Who was the most memorable character of The Prince of Eridu and why?
Balashi. by far Balashi!

Ammon-shur thought that saving the girl and escaping deadly peril in Uruk meant that he would live a safe and happy life in his new home in Ur. With his business prospering, a new daughter just born and everything looking up he is deliriously happy, but he did not reckon with the spread of a deadly new religion that accompanied a massive expansion of the slave trade. Life and liberty become precious commodities as people across Sumeria and beyond are targeted by roving bands of slavers.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have recommended this book to several friends! Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down!
What did you like best about this story?
For me the best part of this book is that it always keeps you guessing. I could never tell what was going to happen next. I hate books that make it too obvious about what is going to happen next. I also love the witty banter that the characters have back and forth between each other.
Which scene was your favorite?
One of my favorite parts of this book are the lessons that Ammon-shur is taught by the blind man in the mines. But that is just one of so many other parts of this book that I loved. I can't wait to listen to book 3!
