About this listen

The Assassin: Surrounded by dark elves, Artemis Entreri tightens his grip on the streets of Calimport. While he urges caution, his black-skinned sponsor grows ever more ambitious. The assassin will soon find himself on a path his most hated enemy has walked before him - a path that leads to a place where someone like Entreri would never be welcome.

The Drow: Jarlaxle has ascended from dark Menzoberranzan with only evil intentions. The malevolent Crystal Shard’s influence on him intensifies until even the drow agents he brought with him grow fearful. When Bregan D’aerthe itself begins to turn on him, Jarlaxle will be forced to find a savior in the man he’s come to enslave.

I can’t say how much I adored this chapter. The dialogue between the two is my absolute favourite character interaction of all time, the performance and the writing were divine. I listened to it 8 times before I could move on. Thank you for making my week.

Stellar narration gave life to what would have been some very long and word prose. Sometimes it felt like the author was simply using the “this happened, then this happened, and finally this happened” technique to tell the reader how “cool” his villainous character where.

The story overall was good and entertaining. The multitude of characters made some parts hard to follow especially given their intense fantasy based names that all roll into one when listening above 1.2x speed.

Not a bad putting in the forgotten realms overall.
