About this listen

Some eight months after the events of Penric and the Shaman, Learned Penric, sorcerer and scholar, travels to Easthome, the capital of the Weald. There he again meets his friends Shaman Inglis and Locator Oswyl. When the body of a sorceress is found in the woods, Oswyl draws him into another investigation, and they must all work together to uncover a mystery mixing magic, murder, and the strange realities of Temple demons.

A very lively outing for Penric and Dez. With moments of humor, the return of some characters from older stories, and well developed plot, the story shines. I enjoyed it very much.

It’s possible my review might improve if I listen to this again, but not even the fine vocal stylings of Grover Gardner drew me in to this story. I was repeatedly distracted from it. Aside from being not as compelling as I would like, and the solution to the plot mystery being clear early on, the interaction of several demons was a rare event of interest to series readers for character arc/plot.

Fine fir completists, don’t start series here

Love these novellas! The characters are fun and relatable. The humor is clever and the storyline entertaining. The presenter does a wonderful job of keeping the dialogue distinguished between characters without overdoing it. I could listen to him all day.

Humorous and clever. The presenter is fantastic.

A nice installment in the Penric series, with the usual great writing. It just isn't a 5-star Miles Vorkosigan novel, for me personally.

Lois McMaster Bujold is superb at character and world building, as well as plotting. I do recommend this author, mightily!

The narrator, Grover Gardner, is first-rate, too.

Fine installment in series

A really good tale.

The Chalion series is an all time favorite of mine. Brilliantly done. Her portrayal of the Five Gods, and how people experience them, is masterful. The Penric series is a lighthearted revisiting of the same setting. A good read. Not quite as brilliantly done, but still very enjoyable.

SHORT, BUT WORTH READING

Good book

McMaster is a masterful storyteller, understated, nuanced, fulfilling. I love science fiction, 1st contact, space battles, 0rcs, litrpg... but when I get my fill of blood 🩸 and bravado... I listen to Lois McMaster Bujold

understated excellence
