THE ORDER OF GRIMM

Veteran narrator Shiromi Arserio takes on a new role as author, and who better to narrate the audiobook than she? Former assassin Samara is hired to infiltrate a magical auction and rescue the girl who is being auctioned off. It's all the sweeter because if Samara succeeds, she will get revenge against the man who sold her as a child. The heist requires careful planning, and Arserio lays the groundwork carefully, depicting colorful characters in the process. In the best storytelling tradition, she maintains an intimate relationship with the listener. Each chapter begins with a quote from a historical document or chronicle, which provides a bigger-picture comment or social commentary. Arserio smoothly transitions from those to the business at hand. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
