About this listen

Sir Luther Slythe Krait has a problem. He and his friends are dying.

Starving, on the run, and driven before a gale of ruin and slaughter, they seek a safe haven to hunker down in, to rest, recoup, regather. The backwater port of Haeskenburg seems to answer all their prayers. But Sir Luther knows Haeskenburg. He wishes he didn’t.

Haeskenburg has a secret, you see.

Dark and ancient and stifled away from the light of day, but poised once more to rear its ugly head. Caught between the hammer and the anvil, Sir Luther walks a razor’s edge. Balance or fall, there lies but one certainty: He will bleed.

Holy moly that was Grimmer, Darker and more gruesome than the first book Lord of Asylum. A fantastically told story that is enthralling from the very first page to the last. What I love about this series is the dark setting and detail the author Kevin Wright describes in some of the scenes would give you absolute nightmares. His worldbuilding and storytelling is excellent and if you love your fantasy to be Grimdark then look no further. In The Last Benediction In Steel Sir Luther Slythe Krait, his brother Stephan, Viking Karl and Lady Mary are on the run from Asylum. Their ship is slowy sinking and they are in dire need of repairs. They land themselves in an absolute shithole backwater port of Haeskenburg full of vile religious nuts and destitute nobles. Citizens have been going missing for the last few months, Sir Luther being the detective that he is, is giving the task of undertaking to find the murderers and the missing. Things are never straightforward for our Knight and what he uncovers are only unimaginable horrors that would only make a sane person run for the hills. Jez Sands narration is brilliant. Just bloody fantastic, literally, very highly recommended..😁🖤🔥

Excellently Grimdark.

I enjoyed how mystery, horror, and historical fiction were all seamlessly rolled into one in this book. It's not my usual choice of fiction, but I liked how I didn't know what was coming - there were lots of twists and turns. I read a lot, so originality and surprise are very valuable to me.

The narration/performance was particularly excellent. Jez Sands' tone of voice was perfection for this kind of book, and he embodied the main character completely convincingly. His use of subtle tone changes when the main character was thinking vs talking vs narrating was so easy to listen to and gave the book depth. His performance has made me buy the next book in this series.

Something different, with excellent performance
