Books in This Series
Malice
A 24-hour epic fantasy commitment that rewards patient listeners with rich world-building and distinct character voices. Speed up the playback to 1.5x to fix the narrator's pacing quirks.
Valor
Gwynne delivers a dense, rewarding middle chapter in his epic fantasy series. Lynch's deliberate narration suits the 24-hour journey, though action junkies may want more vocal fireworks.
Ruin
A massive but rewarding third installment in The Faithful and the Fallen series. Lynch's narration is solid if occasionally too measured, but Gwynne's emotional payoffs and dense world-building make the long runtime worthwhile.
Wrath
Wrath delivers an epic, bloody conclusion to The Faithful and the Fallen with satisfying character payoffs and massive battle sequences. Damian Lynch's narration is strong if imperfect, and the 23-hour runtime earns every minute.
