Re-reading 'Malice' by John Gwynne was a rewarding experience, reigniting my excitement to continue the series. The book offers a strong start with likeable characters and their fascinating animal companions. The worldbuilding, particularly the ancient history, was somewhat challenging to grasp even on a second listen, possibly due to the audiobook format. The narration was good, though some accent choices, like an Aussie accent in a Celtic-inspired epic, felt out of place. Nevertheless, the story excels with its nuanced antagonists, adding depth to the narrative.
