Booklog 9/2026: Sebastien de Castell: Tales of the Greatcoats - Audiobook

[jacey]

Audiobook
Narrated by Joe Jameson, Kristin Atherton and Chris Humphries
Eight short stories set in the world of De Castell's Greatcoats, mostly set after the events in the first four Greatcoats novels, witrh one interesting exception. Falcio - the main character in the novels - only appears in two of these stories, but he's mentioned a lot. We're introduced to Estevar Boros, whom we meet again in another (later) book, Crucible of Chaos. Kest (one of Falcio's companions from the novels) also appears, this time in an advisory capacity rather than as a duellist/magistrate. There's plenty of swash and buckle and some deep introspection. Plus there's an interesting epilogue containing the author's notes on the stories and his rationale behind them. All the readers are excellent, especially Joe Jameson.
