About this listen
Betrayal cuts deepest when someone you love wields the knife.
For Kellik, a once-rising star of Port Gloom's guild of thieves, it also leaves him floating in the bay, bleeding out and without hope or allies. Saved by an urchin and healed by a disgraced saint, Kellick is consumed by a single desire: to find out why his guild master ordered him cut down moments after passing his initiation trial.
Burning with injustice, Kellik recruits a number of gorgeous rogues to his side: fallen assassins, dark elf witches, and unnervingly polite necromancers. Together they journey through the shadowy underbelly of Port Gloom in pursuit of bloody revenge, daring to face impossible odds and uncover the grim truth: not only the reason for the guild's unnatural monopoly on crime, but why his guild master might have been justified in ordering his death after all.
Warning and minor spoilers: Rise of the Shadow Rogue is an 18+ audiobook intended for mature listeners. It contains graphic sex, medieval violence, and nudity. People swear, betray their loved ones, set each other on fire, seduce each other, and are scared witless by abysmal horrors. Most importantly, you'll meet gorgeous, powerful women, some capable of twisting the very fabric of fate, others of tearing a man in half with their bare hands. All are willing to enter unconventional, polyamorous harem relationships if it means helping Kellik achieve justice, and with this many powerful women on his side, he just might stand a chance.

The other strength is the length of the book. As the story builds, characters (and there are lots of strong, vivid characters! Creys and Iris are my bae.) thankfully have enough time to develop between moments of action, and *action*.
I can't say that this book is for everyone though, as some might be put off by sudden and graphic sex scenes, but, in this case, these scenes actually serve the plot and drive the characters forward. It doesn't have Five Trials elements of progression fantasy, but it makes up for it with a mystery that sucks you in, and an MC most will love.
My minor criticisms are:
Rough sex scenes might not be to everyone's tastes.
No epilogue/abrupt ending (but then again, maybe less is more in this case?)
Not enough Iris! (ha)
Mike Truk is not writing fast enough
Finally, Ryan West's Narration was excellent, with a clear differentiation between male and female characters, and a good mix of British and American accents - was so good actually, that I'm now looking at what else he's done in this genre... Scratches chin...
By the hanged god's raging cock!

brilliant

Every sex scene made me want to delete the file then and there. The made-up language sections were only just tolerable.
I don't know how I finished this book. The author is going on a list of "never agains".
Very, very nearly unbearable
