About This Audiobook

In 'In the Shadow of Their Dying', Michael R. Fletcher serves up a gritty, fast-paced fantasy that's as dark as it is thrilling. The story follows Tash, an assassin hungry for glory, and Pitt, a mercenary with a troubled past, as they navigate a city under siege. Fletcher's world-building is impressive, with a unique magic system and a richly detailed, morally ambiguous city. Emma Gregory's narration brings the characters to life, her voice shifting seamlessly between Tash's cold determination and Pitt's weary cynicism. This audiobook is a standout choice for fans of morally grey characters and high-stakes action.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into 'In the Shadow of Their Dying'. Fletcher's writing is lean and punchy, with a grimy, lived-in feel that reminded me of Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastards series. Gregory's narration is a perfect match, her voice capturing the desperation and determination of our anti-heroes. The pacing is excellent, with tension building steadily towards a explosive climax. My only critique is that some of the secondary characters could have used more development, but this is a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent listen. If you're a fan of dark, action-packed fantasy, this is a must-listen.
