Summary
Nobody cheats death. A warrior haunted by his past, Salim Ghadafar serves as a problem-solver for a church he hates, bound by the goddess of death to hunt down those who would rob her of her due. Such is the case in the desert nation of Thuvia, where a powerful merchant on the verge of achieving eternal youth via a magical elixir is mysteriously murdered, his soul kidnapped somewhere along its path to the afterlife. The only clue is a magical ransom note, offering to trade the merchant's successful resurrection for his dose of the fabled potion. But who would have the power to steal a soul from the boneyard of Death herself?
Enter Salim, whose keen mind and contacts throughout the multiverse should make solving this mystery a cinch. There's only one problem: The investigation is being financed by Neila Anvanory, the dead merchant's stubborn and aristocratic daughter. And she wants to go with him. Along with his uninvited passenger, Salim must unravel a web of intrigue that will lead them far from the blistering sands of Thuvia on a grand tour of the Outer Planes, where devils and angels rub shoulders with fey lords and mechanical men, and nothing is as it seems....

Better Than Expected
As this book was free and I work by myself for days on end I couldn't resist. Was not expecting it to be particularly good because it was free but how wrong was I. Starts well, then you expect it to be some sword welding knight flavour but it isn't. Good characters, will performed by the narrator and will paced. Hope there is a follow on

Great story, struggled with the performer
The story was great but the performer has a very monotone way of delivery which I struggled with.

1st audible story I have listened to
This is the first audible story I have listened to and I thought the narrator did an excellent job in telling the story and projecting the voices of the different characters.
You need a good imagination to see these creatures spoke about in the book and I don't think I could have read the book myself being dyslexic but enjoyed the story so thank you audible.

Not bad at all
Picked this up for free and finally got round to listening having gone through everything else in the library.
The story is essentially a murder-mystery with a twist - the twist being a kidnapped soul in a fantasy world. Having listened/read a number of fantasy stories in my time I was able to keep up with the ever changing surroundings - the alternate realms, variety of creatures and magical encounters. The story fails to build the world as well as many others and if spending a credit I'd point to the likes of Brandon Sanderson to get a better bang for your buck.
Having said that the story is entertaining enough and the performance is genuinely excellent. If you see if on a Daily Deal or for free then grab it.

Bit ropey
It was okay, nothing awful but it very much was two people bouncing from location to new location seemingly randomly. Wouldn't again

Give pathfinder the benefit of the doubt.
Giving a pathfinder novel the benefit of doubt was probably a great thing to do. I cannot comment on any other novels from the series, however, this being my first pathfinder novel I was really impressed. The story was well woven on various facets, and the plot bounced around between characters which was good writing, the story shines through as the adventurers actually travel in the imagination of the writer and everything in the narration is well paced, clear and engaging to the ears.
So yes, although I am a D&D and forgotten realms fan, the pathfinder novels, thanks to James L.Sutter and Ray Porter have definitely pricked my ears.

Brilliantly performed.
Better than I thought. Very enjoyable. The story takes us across the plains and the portrayal of magi and magical abilities was great.

Good story, amazing voice actor
Interesting story, with likeable protagonists. but the voice actor was IMHO simply phenomenal. A huge range of voices and it really enabled the whole story . Just bought the next book by this pair.
