The best audiobooks narrated by Steven Pacey — 1 title spanning Fantasy, averaging 4.22 stars on Goodreads.
Steven Pacey's narration of Joe Abercrombie's First Law series is frequently cited as the greatest audiobook performance of all time — and it's hard to argue. Pacey voices dozens of characters with such consistency and distinction that listeners forget they're hearing a single person. His Glokta is iconic, his Logen Ninefingers unforgettable. A veteran stage and screen actor, Pacey brings a theatrical intensity to grimdark fantasy that perfectly matches Abercrombie's dark humor and brutal action. If you haven't heard Pacey perform The Blade Itself, you're missing one of the medium's defining achievements.
The list below highlights the best Steven Pacey audiobooks in our collection, ranked by listener ratings and popularity. Steven Pacey's highest-rated title here is The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie (4.22 stars on Goodreads).

Narrated by Steven Pacey
Abercrombie's grimdark debut is a deliberate subversion of fantasy tropes — morally compromised heroes, no clean victories, and some of the sharpest dialogue in the genre.
