CASSIEL'S SERVANT Kushiel's Legacy, Book 4

This audiobook--the fourth in the Kushiel's Legacy fantasy series, but the second chronologically--offers more than a retelling of KUSHIEL'S DART. This companion piece is narrated from Joscelin's point of view. Narrator Owen Findlay is a master of distinctive voices as he reintroduces listeners to Joscelin, a warrior-priest who is sworn to celibacy and dedicated to protecting Phèdre nó Delaunay, a servant. While occasional production hiccups and noticeable pauses may require some patience, even at increased listening speed, Findlay's skills shine as he captures unique personalities, the complex political landscape, and Joscelin's internal conflict. While this production is delightful as a stand-alone, listening to the original trilogy first is recommended for the most satisfying experience.
