Listening to this as an audiobook is a great way to immerse yourself into a dark time with Sebastian and Sarmodel returning to hunt the Beast of Gevaudan who has made a reappearance and is slaughtering again in a time of unrest and revolution. And while this does have plenty of supernatural, arcane additions, it still feels raw and real. Not that it is all dark, I especially loved Livia and her supplemental addition's to the tale Sebastian is writing. She is hilarious and it was fun to get the point of view of a succubus and her part in the events of the past during the hunt for the artifact and the tale of Jehanne d’Arc. That humor balances out the dark times indeed!
Sebastian and Sarmodel's partnership were well done as well, I could listen to them bantering for a long time and be entertained the whole time. It was interesting to see how a demon and a human could work together over centuries and still be friendly with each other. And while I was not as much a fan of Antoine and that companionship or later with Jacques on the hunt twenty years later, It added to the historical feeling aspects though I liked the history that lead to the appearance of the Beast best.
This was a great audiobook to listen to! The narrators, Imogen Church; Rory Barnett did a great job in bringing Sebastian and Livia's voices to life and their fascinating stories through time. It will be interesting to see what their next stories will be though you should definitely pick this audiobook up too! I am glad I got the chance to listen to this!
