About this listen

Farin and his congenial demon stinker are concentrating on his attempt to become a good squire.

A chance at fame comes with the Great Knight Tournament, but the gravedigger’s son learns the sad news of his father’s death and must travel back to his village to bury him.

Meanwhile, the bounty on the escaped orphan Aross’ head is growing by the week, and she is being hunted down by the town watch of Hubstone. At the harbor, she strikes up a friendship with the artist Ki.

When the city’s rival underworld gangs meet to settle their differences in the great cathedral, Aross intervenes, to dramatic effect....

Loved it great storytelling

Loved it very entertaining and story well written. I do wish it was only 2 books though seems a bit short to have three part series for this. And expensive to buy all three. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Goes downhill from book one, though still decent.

Still definitely worth a listen but it becomes more obviously teenager-material. Sacrifices a lot of plot believability along the way, and becomes quantity over quality. The early part of book one had a lot more thought put into it and it could have been something great. I’d rather read something great. I’ll check out the authors other work but not sure I’ll continue with this series unless there’s some sign of change.

My Favourite Audible Series

Looking forward to being able to buy the next book. Love the writing style and characters in it. A fun storyworld and the events unfold at a pleasing pace to me. Performance is great as it was in the last book.

Disappointing Change In Style

The First installment in this admittedly intriguing Fantasy series was notably satirical. Sam Feuerbach's introductory story about a demon-possessed social pariah & a magically-gifted outcast was refreshingly near-parody.. actually inducing laughter at times.
In this episode, he decides to concentrate on Worldbuilding and developing & growing his hard-luck ostracized teenaged characters ('Farin', the habitually-dismissed 18-year-old Gravedigger's Son.. and 'Aross', the despised 15-year-old orphan/street-urchin in the distant Capitol). He also shifts focus onto advancement of his overarching demon-hunting/traitorous cult plotline.

I frankly miss the striking cerebrally humorous tone that suffused Volume One..

Don't get me wrong.. Feuerbach continues to use a light touch and injects sharp sarcastic wit into the text, but largely abandons his Monty-Pythonesque intellectually hilarious chronicle technique for a more traditional narrative style.

Reader Gildart Jackson likewise follows the cues and changes his performance somewhat - also to the detriment of the recording.
He once again delivers creditable diction, cadence, tone, and voice-acting - but his timbre is deeper & more serious.. with less deadpan humor evident in the dialogue.

Altogether, this 6.5/10 star recording is worth a Credit if you're following the series - but it's not particularly spectacular. In fact - judging by the shift to a more "conventional" Fantasy series - I personally don't think it will be worth it to continue with Books 3 & 4. I have no doubt that Feuerbach's plot resolution will be satisfying.. but other equally enjoyable Fantasy stories beckon.

[Note: "Shite and Onions!" is a brilliant expletive]
