About This Audiobook

In 'The Assassin's Shadow', R.S. Moule masterfully crafts a tale of redemption and revenge, set against a richly imagined fantasy world. When former assassin Locan is forced back into action, Moule's tight, action-packed prose keeps the tension high. David Thorpe's narration brings Locan's gruff, weary voice to life, contrasting perfectly with the lyrical descriptions of the world. This isn't your typical epic fantasy; it's a lean, mean, bloody tale that packs a punch.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

David Thorpe's narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. His deep, resonant voice lends Locan an air of gravitas, perfectly capturing the character's weary wisdom and simmering anger. Thorpe's ability to switch between accents and tones makes the supporting cast equally engaging. Moule's pacing is impressive, balancing action sequences with quieter moments of reflection. However, some of the world-building could have been more seamless, as it occasionally feels info-dumped. Overall, 'The Assassin's Shadow' is a gripping, visceral listen that fantasy fans will devour.
