Summary
Three times they tried to kill her. Then they hired a professional. She hired Riyria.
When the last member of the oldest noble family in Avryn is targeted for assassination, Riyria is hired to foil the plot. Three years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and the cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start life as thieves for hire. Things have gone well enough until they receive the odd assignment to prevent a murder. Now they must venture into a forgotten corner of southern Avryn - a place whose history predates the empire. As usual, challenges abound as they try to anticipate the moves of an unknown assassin before it's too late.
But that's not their only problem. The Countess of Dulgath has a dark secret she's determined to keep hidden. Then there's the little matter of Riyria's new employer...the Nyphron Church.
From the best-selling author of The Riyria Revelations comes the third installment of The Riyria Chronicles. Although part of a series, it's designed to thrill both new listeners and Riyria veterans wishing to reunite with their favorite rogues.

Most enjoyable
I really did want to know what happened next, I love the relationship between the two main characters, and how the very different personalities manage to get on despite them.
Dare I say it...not long enough!

Good story and great characters.
I really like these books and the short stories. This one opens up a bit more of the Royce back story. Good plots and the action flows in a believable way. I love the way the author concentrates on telling the tale rather than getting lost in his own literary style. A lesson many of his contemporaries should take heed off. I hope we see more of Royce and Hadrian in the future as there are not enough good characters in modern fantasy.
Keep it up.

Well written, well read and very fluent as always
Where does The Death of Dulgath rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A talented narrator and author make easy going of a slick storyline. A fine addition to the series.
What did you like best about this story?
The two main characters and their interaction are always an enjoyable experience.
What does Michael J. Sullivan and Tim Gerard Reynolds bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A new dimension to the two main characters. As opposites their interaction and bickering seems both natural and enjoyably entertaining.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Many chuckles and a continued appreciation of an understated wordsmith in action. It is another perfect example of having the right narrator and direction, for the right author.
Any additional comments?
Just one gripe compared to the Riyira is that it seems a tad short by a chapter or two. Likely down to 'wanting more', but a slick production of work from a guy who seems a decent bloke. Next please =P.

Silly story.
Not a lot happens and the ending is unsatisfactory. The plot itself is very silly. The narrator is very good and the interactions between Royce and Hadrian make up somewhat for the shortcomings of the story.
The last 90 minutes or so are bonus content- an extract from another series by the same author and a completely unrelated short story by someone different entirely. This makes for a bit of an odd end to the original recording, but I quite liked the short story.

GOOD BOOK
I have over 300 audible titles and I have to say that the narration and performance of this book is one of the best I've heard. It's a compelling universe with a great story and awesome characters. I can't wait for a sequel.

I did not like it that much
So so story with fun character banter. Sorry but not a page turner for me. I keep trying to get into this series because of all the great reviews but I find it very overhyped.

Explains So Much :-))
What made the experience of listening to The Death of Dulgath the most enjoyable?
I am already a fan of the Riyria stories, and love the two main characters, but this story and the other two "prequels" have explained so much about the two men who make these stories so enjoyable. As to what made the experience enjoyable, well, I thought there would be no more Riyria stories, so I was pleased when I saw "The Crown Tower". When I spotted "The Rose and the Thorn" I was delighted. I was ecstatic when I found "The Death of Dulgath. I really do hope that Mr Sullivan writes more about these two fantastic characters. I also hope that Tim Gerard Reynolds agrees to narrate them.
What other book might you compare The Death of Dulgath to, and why?
It would be difficult to find a book, or series that could be fairly compared to any of the books in The Riyria. I can't think of any with characters with a relationship as complex as the one that exists between the two main character in these stories.
What about Michael J. Sullivan and Tim Gerard Reynolds ’s performance did you like?
Tim Gerard Reynolds brings the two main characters to life, and give depth and feeling to the stories. I apologize for not really paying attention to Mr Sullivan's contribution, as I needed to answer the door just as he started speaking, and he was all but finished when I got back.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I spent quite a bit of all these stories swinging from laughing my head off to choking up with tears. The emotional content is wonderfully done, and you really do feel for the characters, and care about what happens to them. The death of a particular female character actually made me cry.
Any additional comments?
I do hope that Mr Michael J. Sullivan will be returning to Riyria as I for one would love to read, or listen to more of these wonderful stories.

Classic
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the latest slice of Riyria Chronicles.
As ever, the story is well paced, cleverly thought out and the performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds is simply sublime.
The bonus excerpt from the next series "Age of Empire" was a real surprise and I look forward to that as soon as it is published.
