For the best in grimdark fantasy

Plague howls across Europe, the Hundred Years' War rages across the land, and the city of Asylum is consumed by a brutal civil war. Amidst this threefold maelstrom of havoc, enter Sir Luther Slythe Krait: a knight long bled dry of chivalry and shorn of heroism. A man whose lone desire is to slink through the backwaters and alleyways of civilization. To go unnoticed, unwanted, unneeded.

But Sir Luther is a man who gets what he deserves, not what he desires. Thrust into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse amidst Asylum's power-mad lords, can Sir Luther play one off against another long enough to accomplish his task? Can he unmask the truth behind a vile murder? And hunt down the killer? Will he bring him to justice? Or will he just die trying?

I was beyond impressed with this book. I think my favorite parts are in the middle of s**t situations the main character can always find a snarky retort. Brilliant dialog and worldbuilding, leaving so much for your imagination to build upon. Took me a little bit to navigate the narrators voices, but once into it they were clear as day.

This was a pretty good book, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the fast-paced, action packed story. I liked the characters and story line. The narration is very well done, too. All in all, I really liked this and would love more from this authoer/narrator duo.

Overall:

I have to admit that while this book has its moments, I did not find myself enjoying the book as much as I hoped. I had difficulty following in some parts and it made the story feel disjointed to me. That being said, I did finish the book with the last few hours being altogether more interesting to me than the previous 13. If you are into mystery novels within a medieval-era setting, this might be the book for you.

Narration:

One of the voices the narrator used (Nils) seemed a bit mumbly/nasally to me and in a few parts I had difficulty understanding what the character was supposed to be saying. Coincidentally, I have listened to another book narrated by Jenkins and the dialogue was fine. In my opinion, this was not one of the narrator's better performances.

The story seemed good, but I couldn't get past the narration. The narrator used weird rhythm and inflections, like he didn't like the idea of ending sentences, so he just left them hanging. I found it too distracting to finish. Will get it on Kindle.

Odd Narration

I am a huge fan of the Grimdark Genera. This one is in a class by itself. Gritty reality, stark landscape, and dubious antagonist. No white knights in shining armor. Just a bunch of flawed human beings, set to the scene of a medieval mystery of "Who Dunnit" and "What for". I found the story gripping, exciting, moving and a bit tragic. I loved every moment of it! If you are a fan of Grimdark, and it's master story tellers, add this to your collection. You will not be disappointed.
