MORTAL HEART His Fair Assassin, Book 3

Narrator Jennifer Grace gives voice to Annith in the concluding title of LaFevers's His Fair Assassin trilogy. Though Annith has spent her life training to be an assassin in the convent of the God of Death, she has yet to receive any assignments. Growing frustrated, she makes her own mission and flees. Grace uses a courtly, articulate style that is similar to the narrators of the preceding titles in the trilogy, giving the listening experience a sense of continuity. However, she tends to focus heavily on Annith's bitterness and anger. This focus brings out some engaging moments when the drama is high and plot twists are revealed but leaves Annith sounding a bit one-noted otherwise and sometimes results in a labored pace.
