The previous book was about the war but this was just the start. This book focuses on some of the aftermath and the continuing fight again evil magic. Crime families, guardians, royalty and magic are a great combination.

I re-read my summary from the first book and was unsure what I meant. The story is good but the narrator has no storytelling skills. I wasn’t clear previously so I will this time, don’t buy this and expect anything other than a flat reading with clear pronunciation. The story is good inter twining threads being resolved efficiently and a prelude of the next story. So will I listen to the next one? I noted it is the same narrator so maybe I need to leave it for a while to forget a little how much it affects my enjoyment.

Meh

I really enjoyed the espionage storylines and the investigation into the series of murders. Great fun and a very different feel to the previous book.

An engaging listen
