PENRIC AND THE SHAMAN A Fantasy Novella in the World of the Five Gods

by | Read by Grover Gardner

Fantasy • 4.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2016

Narrator Grover Gardner's wiry, rough tones evoke the stark mountain wilderness and grueling hardships in the world of the Five Gods. Penric, sorcerer, scholar, and divine of the Bastard's Order is sent on a quest to track a runaway shaman. Gardner's inflection, while brusque, belies a tenderness that lends humanity to hardened characters. The story also focuses on the travels of the shaman, Inglis, and Gardner's command of the narrative helps listeners stay invested in the overlapping tales. While the story may be harder to follow for those unfamiliar with the World of the Five Gods, listeners will enjoy Penric's resilience and humor, Bujold's world-building, and Gardner's delivery.
