About this listen

Stephen's god died on the longest day of the year....

Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind....

From the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Swordheart and The Twisted Ones comes a saga of murder, magic, and love on the far side of despair.

Delightful, witty and more than a little strange

Thoroughly enjoyable, and a perfect match of narrator to novel. I can't wait to treat myself to the next one (and hopefully get a little glimpse of Grace in passing). I adored Swordheart but couldn't get on with the narration of the audiobook, I'm very happy to be enjoying the author's other works in the same world as much as the hard copies.

Endering

The characters have faults of their own and there is a mystery to solve. I find the narration a bit emotionless

An entertaining read

I liked the humour of this book. The character POVs worked well and the modern world characteristics blended surprisingly well with the more archaic, fantasy setting.

Amazing read!

Exactly what I needed - lovely writing, a great plot, and adorable, wonderful characters who I will now, in fact, fight people for.
If you're considering this, get it.

Enjoyable story, disliked narration

I enjoyed the story and the development of the characters but did not like the narration. It got better / you got used to it but I think the book would benefit from a more animated narrator.

Enjoyed this book

I’m liking this author, and that there are different stories from the same world they’ve created.

Pure Delight!

I absolutely loved the warm fuzziness of this audiobook - FINALLY A ROMANTASY WITH A FEMALE PROTAGONIST IN HER 30S!!! Every single character in this story is a pure joy and I love how funny they are in their interactions; brilliantly written and narrated! The stakes are high, but more 'solve this mystery' rather than 'save the world' type scenario, which provides enough tension but doesn't require complex world-building. I really loved the concept of the paladins with their dead god, and I especially enjoyed the various ways other characters would point to their martyrdom complexes and guilt with exasperation - it felt like a dig at other fantasy story character tropes which I heartily agreed with! A broken paladin who knits socks for his comrades? I think I'm in love!

Simply exquisite!

This was an incredible book!
The world building was so intriguing; the characters well written and multifaceted; the descriptions and prose was on point, and the plot well paced and interesting.
The best, though, was the odd mix of grim topics and dry humour. The story had me choked up or grimacing one moment, then laughing the next.
Simply exquisite!

Oddly enjoyable

Took a punt on this one as it was free. Really enjoyable story. I had no idea how it was going to play out. I liked the fact the characters are older and more worldly
