Bastard's Honor (AUDIOBOOK)

Bastard's Honor (AUDIOBOOK)

If you enjoyed the previous books, you'll probably enjoy this one, too. I didn't find Thadred and Sair to have much of the interesting character contrast that made following Daindreth and Amira especially fun, but there were plenty of other interesting things going on in this book.

The audiobook itself was fine, but I did not appreciate having to use the BookFunnel service to listen to it. I'm definitely in the camp of folks who don't love how big companies like Amazon operate, so I was initially thrilled to see that this book was not released on Audible. But unsurprisingly, I'm also in the camp of folks who care about privacy and security, and I didn't want to download another app (BookFunnel's) to listen to this audiobook. I listened to it in the browser (Firefox on an android device), which, while doable, was a pretty terrible experience -- roughly every other chapter it would error out and lose my place. I also couldn't listen to this when I was offline, which is what I usually do (I listen to audiobooks while hiking).

Frankly, it would not be difficult at all for anyone to re-record this audiobook and have a copy of it that could be listened to without restrictions, regardless of the platform -- which is to say, whether or not an audiobook is released by the author in a restricted state like this does not have the oft-expected relationship with piracy or with an author not getting paid. I appreciate not using Audible here, but I wish the author had gone the step further of just letting us download an .mp3.

Great wrap up to our favourite underdog. Loved digging deeper into the side character.

A very fun and novel with good character development and compelling storyline.

Thad is my favourite character so I couldn’t help but buy Bastard’s Honor on the release day! I’m already halfway and hoping there’s more content for this book coming up
