Book description
Okay, so I just finished Saint Death's Herald as an audiobook, and wow. Just... wow. Seriously, if you love fantasy with heart, humor, and a seriously cool magic system, this is your next obsession. The narrator? Absolute perfection. They nailed Lanie Stones-her sarcasm, her exhaustion after being exiled, her deep, quiet grief. You hear it all in her voice, like she's just telling you a story over coffee after a long day.
Lanie's not your typical hero. She's basically like, "Can I just eat a pastry and read a book instead of saving the world?" But hey, the world kinda needs saving, and her great-grandpa Irradiant (yes, Irradiant-what a name) is basically the villain from your worst nightmare. He's escaped, stolen a body, and is heading back to Skakhmat to finish the genocide he started. Cue Lanie's panic: "Great. Just great. Now I have to hunt my own family member who's basically a walking apocalypse?" Ugh, relatable.
But here's the thing that blew me away: Lanie's magic. She's a necromancer, but not the creepy kind. She sings the restless dead to their eternal rest. The audiobook makes this sound so... peaceful? Like a lullaby for the dead. It's not scary; it's beautiful. And her new family? The people who've become her chosen family? They're her real strength. You can hear the warmth in the narrator's voice when she's with them, like she's finally found home.
The best part? This is a sequel, but it's so easy to jump into. You don't need to have read the first book (though you totally should-Saint Death's story is wild). The narrator just drops you right into Lanie's head, her voice, her world, and you're instantly hooked. You're rooting for her like she's your best friend, even when she's complaining about her exiled life over a cup of tea.
And Grandpa Rad? Oh, he's a mess. A powerful, terrifying mess, but the narrator makes him feel so... human in his madness. You'll laugh at his terrible life choices while also being like, "Okay, but yeah, he's a bad guy." It's just so well done.
If you're looking for a fantasy that's got heart-with magic that feels real, characters you'll love, and a narrator who makes you feel like you're right there with Lanie-this audiobook is a must-listen. It's not just good; it's the kind of story that sticks with you, makes you think about the quiet moments, and maybe even makes you want to hum a little lullaby for the dead. Trust me, you're gonna love it. Seriously, grab it and let the narrator carry you through. You won't regret it.
