Book description
I just finished listening to Paladin's Hope and I can't help but shout it out. The audiobook opens with a very ordinary day for Piper, the lich-doctor. He's the sort of person who spends his time with the dead, quietly figuring out why the city guard's newest corpse died. His job is calm, almost too calm. That calm shatters when he's dragged to the river to examine a new body, one that's been twisted by something far stranger than a simple crime. The narrator's voice gives Piper a dry, professional tone that instantly pulls you into that odd, almost clinical world.
Then Galen storms onto the scene. He's a paladin of a dead god, a man who has lost the hope of faith and, honestly, the hope of love. The narrator captures his jaded swagger and the edge of madness that lingers behind his armor. Galen's world is a sharp contrast to Piper's. He's the one who sees the danger in every twisted body and, more importantly, he's the one who feels responsible for keeping Piper safe. His voice-rough, layered with a sense of weary duty-makes you feel his internal conflict as he grapples with protecting a man who has become a walking puzzle.
The plot thickens when a brave gnole constable-yes, a gnole, not a goblin-enters the mix. She's determined, with a steady voice that never wavers. Together, the trio faces a killer that's not just cruel but seems almost supernatural. The narration cleverly switches between perspectives, giving each character their own moment to breathe, which keeps the suspense tight. The sound design is spot on, especially the quiet river scene where you almost hear the splash in the background, heightening the sense that something unseen is lurking beneath.
What I loved most is how the narrator handles the tone shifts. From the clinical to the chaotic, from the stoic to the desperate, the voice never loses its grip on the story. The pacing is brisk; there's always a new twist, a new body to investigate, and Galen's protective instinct that pushes the story forward. The ending leaves you with more questions than answers, but that's the point-T. Kingfisher knows how to leave you humming the themes long after the last line.
If you're in the mood for a mystery that blends the uncanny with a touch of fantasy, Paladin's Hope is a perfect listen. The narrator's clear, engaging performance makes it easy to get lost in the world of lich-doctors and broken gods, and the stakes feel real. I'm still replaying the last scenes in my head-great audiobook, great story, great voice.
