Dark Jenny by Alex Bledsoe
5.0
Fantasy or alternate Renaissance tale, whatever you want to call this series, it's a superb set of tales told. It's one of my favorites and I am glad I have them on audio and told to me by Stefan Rudnicki. I like his voice and the way he voices characters, especially women. Not overly done, just softer and I can tell who is speaking each time. This is important to me. I will stop listening to a book if the narrator is crappe for whatever reason and it usually has to do with how the narrator portrays the opposite sex. The older I get the more particular I am. I know I am in good listening hands with Stefan Rudnicki.
All that said, this is a superb story. Each one in the series I've read so far are great, but this one is superb. The intrigue was more intricate. Arthurian legend-flavored and I am slightly addicted to Arthurian legend. I have shelves of books with various takes on it. I will get this in handheld so I can add it those shelves. I sat in the car in the driveway or parking lot just a little longer, drove around the block a couple of times just to see what was going to happen next. It doesn't diminish the story, it deliciously enhances it.
The reader/listener gets more Eddie LaCrosse backstory, another peek into what makes him tick.
The things done in the name of love, in the name of country or the law of the land. Court intrigues, politics and Eddie's distaste for them. I do love how blunt he can be. And how saddened he can get by the human condition.
I can absolutely recommend this book, series and author.
