About this listen

Loch is seeking revenge. It would help if she wasn’t in jail. The plan: To steal a priceless elven manuscript that once belonged to her family, but is now in the hands of the most powerful man in the Republic. To do so, Loch - former soldier, former prisoner, and current fugitive - must assemble a crack team of magical misfits that includes a cynical illusionist, a shape shifting unicorn, a repentant death priestess, a talking magical war hammer, and a lad with seemingly no skills. This crack team of misfits will help her break into the floating fortress of Heaven’s Spire and the vault that holds her family’s treasure - all while eluding the unrelenting pursuit of Justicar Pyvic, whose only mission is to see the law upheld. What could possibly go wrong?

Where does The Palace Job rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a great book, plenty of action, interesting characters, banter and an amazing narrator.

What other book might you compare The Palace Job to, and why?

On par with the Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher.

It's contemporary but also puts me in mind of The Hobbit. Also Ocean's Eleven.

What about Justine Eyre’s performance did you like?

She's just amazing. All the characters are distinctive in tone or accent, she does a good male voice, it's well paced and best of all she sounds like she's having a lot of fun reading the story. I'll be looking for more narration from Justine Eyre.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This is a silly question that's literally asking for spoilers.

Every time the warhammer speaks :)

Any additional comments?

It's a very fun, entertaining listen. There's a lot happening, I'll end up listening to this a few things.

This is such a well written and enjoyable book and was narrated wonderfully! Each character has a distinctive voice and there is a lot of humour in this story. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and I'm going to get the next in the series.

Such a great listen!

I was a bit concerned in the beginning, there were a lot of "fantasy genre" names that were similar to each other and would have been easier to absorb in written form during the team gathering phase. I thought I might lose important details while driving somewhere unfamiliar.

I shouldn't have worried, it was brilliant!

One thing that stood out was that it was really really good all the way through.

Fantastic narration.

That was SO GOOD
