Tomorrow, the Killing

Low Town Series 2

By: Daniel Polansky

Narrated by: Matt Godfrey

Once he was a hero of the Great War, and then a member of the dreaded Black House. Now he is the criminal linchpin of Low Town. His name is Warden. He thought he had left the war behind him, but a summons from up above brings the past sharply, uncomfortably, back into focus.

General Montgomery's daughter is missing somewhere in Low Town, searching for clues about her brother's murder. The General wants her found, before the stinking streets can lay claim to her, too.

Dark, violent, and shot through with corruption, this book is a fantastic successor to a much-heralded fantasy debut.

Great language, great reader, great story

I only wish I could write prose like this, or voice characters this convincingly. Now, be aware, the combat scenes are frequent and realistic, so it’s not bedtime listening.

Strong story, weak narrator

I liked this volume as much as the first, but the narrator was a disappointment. The Warden sounded like Casey Kasem, which didn't really have the gravitas the previous narrator gave him. All the other characters except Adolphus had high voices, which was kind of weird, and some were basically indistinguishable from one another. The women's voices were worst of all. You'd think someone who mostly does high voices could do women's voices, but he couldn't. I got over my disappointment, and still enjoyed the story, but i hope the next volume has a better narrator.

Wish there were more like it!

I love the mix of gangster stories in fantasy worlds. This series is quite good and reminds me of the Jhereg Cycle.

Why switch the narrator?

Good story and definitely a must listen if you liked the first but changing the narrator was a strange choice
