The Dark Paladin

As an editor, I went into The Dark Paladin expecting a fun, action-packed romp, and while it certainly delivers on that front, it's so much more than that. What struck me most about this audiobook is how deftly it balances its lighter, more humorous moments with the darker, more intense scenes. It's a delicate tightrope to walk, but Baldree and Lamb pull it off with ease. That being said, there were moments where the pacing felt slightly rushed, particularly in the audiobook's final act. I would have loved to see a bit more breathing room for the story to unfold. Still, these minor quibbles aside, The Dark Paladin is a fantastic listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
