Summary
Stephen's god died on the longest day of the year....
Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind....
From the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Swordheart and The Twisted Ones comes a saga of murder, magic, and love on the far side of despair.

Amazing story, narration gets better
I’m a big fan of T Kingfisher’s work and her paladins so I was overjoyed when I saw that this was being turned into an audio book. I was initially a bit disappointed with the narration as I find her books lend themselves to a more animated reading voice but by the end it had grown on me and I find myself impatient for the next book in the series!

Dreadful!
I have nothing good to say about either the performance or the author. Badly written, badly narrated. Don't waste your time - choose something else!

Paladins Grace
Very enjoyable story and whilst a romance it was also a fine adventure or was it the other way round. I am enjoying the work of T Kingfisher greatly and will be looking for a fifth story to listen to. Before I forget the narrator Jesse Vilinsky did an excellent job bringing everything to life.

Interesting start to a series
I enjoyed this book much more than I possibly expected. I don't usually read romance stories (and possibly because of this, I was taken a bit by surprise just how horny the story is!) but I've heard good things about T.Kingfisher and their fantasy writing so wanted to try them out. It was definitely worth it.
The characters were intriguing and the world building was excellent (this was my first book by T.Kingfisher so I'm not sure if the world is shared with any of her other book series). There's plenty of the secondary or tertiary characters that I'd like to hear more about in later books as well as the city state politics and the inter-temple rivalries. The romance plot line was definitely front and centre in the story, possibly to the detriment of the two other plots that interwove with it. I'd have liked those plotlines to have had a bit more page time but they're ingesting none the less.
I'm still undecided on the performance. The delivery matched for one of the protagonists very well and fitted their side of the story, but it left the rest very flat and almost monotone. I think I'm just tipping in favour of giving them the benefit of the doubt in what they were going for.
Altogether, definitely recommended :)

Not for me.
I found the narration was a challenge for me to enjoy. The male character voices were tolerable, but the women were whiny and simpering. I liked the premise, but I didn’t enjoy the execution. The narration would be better suited to a “hard boiled detective thriller” but didn’t quite work when describing sex scenes. I might have enjoyed reading this book on a Sunday afternoon, but many hours of audio book didn’t work for me.

Childish fan fiction
Was hoping for a book that wrestled with high-minded concepts like spirituality, duty, virtues, mutual support, and redemption through love and purity. This was more like silly fan fiction.

I have to echo other reviews on the romance
Unfortunately the romance, while sweet was just a bit too much for me (very teenage angst). I know it’s the purpose of the book and it’s definitely well written, so if a romance novel is what you were expecting, then don’t be put off!
I think it’s that it’s also got another plot that I was more interested in and the romance was detracting from it.

Dragged my way through it…
I really wanted to enjoy this book after reading all the positive reviews. I couldn’t get into it, I found the world introduction weak, the character back stories rushed and disjointed and the story line both rushed in places and very slow in others. After finishing this book I tried the second in the series but only made it 3 chapters before returning it. I have enjoyed other T.Kingfisher books, but this one definitely wasn’t my cup of tea.
