This book assumes you remember all details from Grey Sister, which makes my reading it, rather frustrating and a bit lost. It's been too long ago and all details are no longer in short-term memory or quickly recoverable from long-term.

I might pick this up again if I plan to reread Grey Sister.

Too much worldbuilding and chitchatting to draw me in. I prefer a plot that moves along.

I love Tim Curry for his unique characters, one of which folks may not be aware of is the voice of a master assassin in the audiobook of one of Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson's Dune prequels. The assassin has a physical description of petite, prissy, and has a stammer. (Reminds me of Zorro's alter ego.) Mr. Curry did a great job of portraying this persona, including the stammer!

I love that he curses, is honest if he didn't get on well with people and doesn't try to degrade people. He also doesn't do the "juicy details" business.

It makes sense then, that he would do his own narration work. Be aware that his voice has been impacted by his stroke and needs a bit of concentration at the beginning until your ear becomes accustomed to his current voice.
