Book description
Alright, so I just finished listening to Mortedant's Peril and wow - what a ride! RJ Barker really knows how to craft a story that grabs you from the first chapter and doesn't let go.
The main character, Irody Hasp, is this fascinating mix of underdog and reluctant hero. He's basically the fantasy equivalent of a crime scene investigator, but instead of DNA evidence, he reads dead people's last thoughts. Sounds useful, right? Wrong. Nobody likes him, his own guild barely tolerates him, and he's stuck with all the crappy jobs nobody else wants. I couldn't help but feel for the guy from the start.
Things go from bad to worse when his apprentice gets murdered and suddenly everyone's looking at Irody as the prime suspect. Now he's got to solve a murder while running for his own life - classic setup, but Barker makes it feel completely fresh. The world-building here is incredible too. We're talking about a city with ancient robots, weird spirits, and sleeping gods. It sounds like it could get overwhelming, but the audiobook narrator does such a great job bringing it all to life that you just get swept along with it.
What really sold me was how the mystery unfolds. Just when you think you've got it figured out, Barker throws another curveball. The supporting characters are all wonderfully weird and complex, and there's this underlying tension throughout about power, corruption, and what it means to do the right thing in a world that's pretty messed up.
If you're into fantasy that mixes mystery, adventure, and some seriously creative world-building, this one's definitely worth your time. I'm already excited to see where the series goes next!
