The Shepherd King: Audiobooks in Order
Six hundred and twelve listeners have weighed in on One Dark Window, and they have settled on 4.6 stars, which makes The Shepherd King one of the most convincingly rated series openers on our Teen and Young Adult shelves. Rachel Gillig’s first volume runs 14 hours and 50 minutes, and everything about it, starting with that beautifully ominous title, promises gothic-tinged fantasy taken seriously.

Why listen to The Shepherd King?
The audio edition belongs to Nina Reithmeier, and with a sample this large holding at 4.6 stars, the performance has clearly won over far more listeners than it has lost. Atmospheric fantasy is a gift to narration: mood, dread and slow-burning romance all land harder when a voice controls the pacing for you, and nearly fifteen hours gives that atmosphere time to thicken properly.One Dark Window is both book one and the obvious entry point, so no navigation is needed; press play and begin. I would recommend it to listeners who like their young adult fantasy on the darker, moodier end of the spectrum, and to adult fantasy readers who long ago stopped caring where the shelving labels fall. If the follow-up reaches our catalogue, I suspect it will not sit unlistened for long.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★★ 4.5/5
This is the easiest verdict in the batch. When 612 listeners average 4.6 stars on a nearly 15-hour opener, the data has done most of my work for me: that is a large, settled consensus, not early-days enthusiasm. Add Nina Reithmeier’s well-received narration and a title that sells itself, and I am comfortable placing The Shepherd King at 4.5 out of 5. The one thing missing is the rest of the series on our shelves.
