About this listen

"The Secret" was published in the anthology Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues.

About this story, author Mark Lawrence says, "'The Secret' is set in the world where my Broken Empire and Red Queen's War trilogies take place. I've been writing short stories based on the various members of Jorg Ancrath's brotherhood of the road, exploring their origins. When I saw that the Blackguards anthology was seeking tales of assassins, I thought it was time to write about Brother Sim."

Well not the Mark Lawrence I’d expect. A bit flat to be honest. Not sure I’ll bother with any more short stories again.

Not the Upto the Mark

I enjoyed it as it fleshed out an interesting character from yorgs band. But predicable plot.

Interesting but highly predictable.

A good story, nothing mind-blowing, somewhat predictable but still well written and fun that it ties loosely into the novels
