I loved Mortedant's Peril a lot, even though I'm currently not very keen on murder mysteries mixed with my fantasy. But the world of Elbay, with its ancient automata, strange spirits, and sleeping gods, was so immersive that it completely won me over. Irody Hasp, with his sarcasm and snark, entertained me so very much. His dry wit and sharp tongue made every scene he was in a joy to read. Watching him navigate the political intrigues and deadly mysteries of Elbay, all while dealing (or not dealing) with his own moral ambiguities, was a treat. And the way his abilities as a Mortedant - someone who reads the last thoughts of the dead - played into the story added such a unique layer to the mystery. The audiobook was a standout for me. The very nuanced narration added so much to the experience, bringing the characters and the world to life in a way that made it even more engaging. It was one of those cases where the narration elevated the story even further. 4/5 stars Thank you to @NetGalley and @macmillan.audio for the eARC! #MortedantsPeril #Bookstagram #NetGalley #MacAudio2026
