About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian Tchaikovsky, read by David Thorpe.

Welcome to Alkhalend, Jewel of the Waters, capital of Usmai, greatest of the Successor States, inheritor to the necromantic dominion that was the Moeribandi Empire and tomorrow’s frontline in the Palleseen’s relentless march to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world.

Loret is fresh off the boat, and just in time.

As Cohort-Invigilator of Correct Appreciation, Outreach department, she’s here as aide to the Palleseen Resident, Sage-Invigilator Angilly. And Sage-Invigilator Angilly – Gil to her friends – needs a second in the spectacularly illegal, culturally offensive and diplomatically inadvisable duel she must fight at midnight.

Outreach, that part of the Pal machine that has to work within the imperfection of the rest of the world, has a lot of room for the illegal, the unconventional, the unorthodox. But just how much unorthodoxy can Gil and Loret get away with?

As a succession crisis looms, as a long-forgotten feat of necromantic engineering nears fruition, as pirate kings, lizard armies and demons gather, as old gods wane and new gods wax, sooner or later Gil and Loret will have to settle their ledger.

Just as well they are both very, very good with a blade…

I am sad that I have finished this book. I hope Mr Tchaikovsky writes another one in this series.

Bucket loads of pathos.

Exceptional

I loved the prequel and was first sad that we didn't follow the characters but then they appeared and I fell in love with Anghilly and her sword anyway. And then The Viper! It took me a while to get into it, but boy, was it worth it. The story of Lorette! Didn't see that coming. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for the next book to come out! A.T. is excellent at creating worlds and characters that you love and care for deeply.
And the narrator is SUPERB!

Another fantastic book by A.T.!

honestly... honestly?

uses the word honestly too much, doesn't someone proofread it?

good story though if you can ignore the tinnitus of "honestly" echoing through your skull

I've really enjoyed the books in this series so far. the writing is excellent, as is the world building + system of magic, plus the politics always feels true. Strongly recommend

superb - hope there's more to come
