Paladin's Faith

The Saint of Steel, Book 4

De: T. Kingfisher

Narrado por: Joel Richards

From Hugo Award winning author T. Kingfisher:

Marguerite Florian is a spy with two problems. A former employer wants her dead, and one of her new bodyguards is a far too good-looking paladin with a martyr complex.

Shane is a paladin with three problems. His god is dead, his client is much too attractive for his peace of mind, and a powerful organization is trying to have them both killed.

Add in a brilliant artificer with a device that may change the world, a glittering and dangerous court, and a demon-led cult, and Shane and Marguerite will be lucky to escape with their souls intact, never mind their hearts . . .

Fantastic

Another wonderful book in this series, I
Can’t wait to see where it goes . I also enjoyed the performance of the reader

Good part of the series

Don’t start with this novel, though. As a stand alone, I think it’s the weakest. As part of the arc that begins with the Clocktaur books, it’s an excellent book that leaves me wanting to know more.

The reason I find this the weakest stand alone is the romance facet. Tbh, I wish the author felt able to just leave that aspect out. The romantic leads and their relationship just feels implausible. The sexual tension between them feels implausible. The HEA feels extremely implausible.

But the advancement of the plot, and the espionage, are exciting. The teasers that say we might find out how the Saint of Steel died, that there’s more to learn about the motivation and fate of Wisdom, and Judith, and what Stephen’s role as a paladin is going to be… those all have me eagerly awaiting the next book!

I love this world that T. Kingfisher has created. From the Bishop of the White Rat, to the Dreaming God, the Clocktaurs, the desolate Paladins, and the gnolls, every aspect is wonderful.

I highly recommend the series.

Wonderful

Oh man. Kingfisher did it again! The hits keep coming and they don’t stop coming.

Best one yet

The first 2 books had some standout plot & world elements but I didn’t love all of the character development happening in them. The third had standout characters but my least favorite plot & world elements. This book found a way to have great plot, world building, AND characters. What a nice surprise in a publishing industry where books often go downhill after the first few!

Okay, I’m a convert!

I am totally charmed by T Kingfisher by the fourth paladin book. I am totally charmed by the narrator too. I put down the first book to never return but could not stop thinking about it. I am so glad i gave the series another chance. So, while waiting for book 5, i going to ck out her other books.

So human, great story arch

I can't stop listening to these. Her characters are so relatable and the writing is whimsical without feeling childish. Also, the story arch builds so beautifully across all the books in the Clocktaur universe -- I hope we get a dozen more of these.

Damn Paladins 🤣

I loved this book as much as I loved the other three. The author does such an amazing job of marrying dry humor with anxiety and trauma. Plus the characters being in their 30s/40s is refreshing. I need the other three books now!!!

A paladin + a spy = cute

A soul gutted paladin and a spy on the run team up to topple an evil merchant gild but get sidetracked by gods, demons, con men, a cult and love?

Loved it!

Was a great continued story. Showed complexity of good vs evil and I love characters

Absolutely thrilling with the trademark unique humor included in all the previous books.

The conservation of characters and over arching long term plots made me giddy regularly through the book. This one is a bit more spy novel than say the first book in the series (which was more mystery imho). I couldn’t guess the next plot twist coming time after time. I enjoyed it all and am now unreasonably impatient for the next novel in the series.
