Favorite book

I rarely get an audio version of a book if it's a female narrator. It makes the male characters talk in falsetto usually. Jesse Vilinsky did a pretty good job differentiating the different people in the book.

My first Kingfisher , Great Narration.

Not a bad book! I was looking at lists for cozy fantasy fiction and SwordHeart was on many a list. It was cozy. Although not as “cozy” as some cozy fantasy. More importantly in cozy Fiction , it was really witty and funny. Especially after the Rat Priest gets involved. I enjoyed this an don’t feel that I missed anything , even though I’ve not read other books from this AMAZING world , created. by Kingfisher.
This narrator is amazing!! So many different male voices and sounded different VERY different from each other. Narrator pulled this book up for me, although it’s a pretty great little book!

Just delightful!

I’m fairly new to the fantasy genre, this was my first T. Kingfisher novel, and… I’m overjoyed.

It’s like an Emily Henry-style romcom in a lightly fantasy/magical setting. I enjoyed this world and the main characters so much. And gotta love enough romance/tension plus several great LOL moments.

Also, Jesse Vilinski’s audiobook performance was absolutely stellar — from the character voices (and accents!) to the comedic timing/delivery. I listen to a TON of audiobooks, and if I could give 10 stars to this one for performance, I would!

great performance!

I think this was one of my best audiobooks. Fantastic performance from the narrator - the book came alive on my headphones and I laughed out loud morę than once:) The book was fun and lovely - I highly recommend it (but mainly due to great narrator).

A great read!

I haven't yet read the books describing the world this book is set in, but it suffered not at all for that.
I thoroughly enjoyed the three main characters and the fun, creative, sometimes absurd dialogue.
The casual, obvious references to a world where whoever you are or whoever you love is just part of life everywhere is just the best

Amazing narrator

God, I love Halla and Sarkis! I adored this cozy fantasy adventure. I’m not sure how I would have taken to the dialogue if I’d read the physical version, I think the narrator adds a lot to it and is actually brilliant. I had to check it wasn’t two separate narrators because I found their voice for Sarkis to be so convincing.

I would recommend this to anyone, and I’ve already started to do just that. It entertained me and made me laugh, which was a delight after I’d read two heavier high fantasy books. This is my second read of Kingfisher’s works, although I’d previously heard only good things, and I can say I will certainly be reading more.

This is a wonderful amusing story

Story was sweet, narration was great. I have come to realize that T Kingfisher is one of my favorite authors. I loved this story and it felt good to be back in the world of the Saint of Steel.

Loved

I loved this!!! My first 5-star read of the year.

The banter was fantastic!!! The narrator put it over the top!! T. Kingfisher is becoming one of my favorite authors.

Super Cute

This was a very cute rom com type story. I caught myself giggling throughout the book. There was action, longing, and of course romance. The spice was mild but I feel fit the story. If you want a feel good Romantsy this is your book.

Unexpected you!

I really loved this one. Not only was the story and set of characters outstanding but the narrator is the most skilled voice actor I’ve listened to, she reads it as tho she’s experiencing it and I lived to hear each word.
