About this listen

Alex Verus can see the future. But he never thought he'd see this day. Manoeuvred by forces beyond his control, the probability mage has made a terrible choice: he's agreed to work for his old master once more.

Richard Drakh, the sadistic dark mage Alex escaped as an apprentice, has him in his clutches again. And this time he won't let go so easily.

You won't be able to put this down. I listened over 2 days and just when you think you've got it sussed, you realise you've been misdirected. My only niggle is Arachne's voice has changed slightly but that's me being pedantic. The plot is very well thought out and it's fantastic to see how each detail has been tightly woven.

You are left literally craving for more!

Wow, If you listened to all the books you won't be disappointed!

loved this installment of the series. I was unsure how it would turn out but the end started the next book just right.

A really good series

Any additional comments?

Love the Alex Verus series, and this is another great chapter from the life of our favourite diviner. There is still no clear path as to how the series will end, which I find refreshing. Jacka keeps the readers on their toes with every book. One of the best urban fantasy series of the 2000s. I enjoyed Gildart Jackson's voice and narration on the other books. The first chapter of this recording is, for whatever reason, read annoyingly slow.

Love the book, audiobook starts out too slowly

Jacka must be doing something right as with each new book I vow to take my time and read/listen slowly but then I always end up doing a weekend binge!

Plus points: Morden has a bigger role; time is passing and everyone's allowed to be a bit more grownup; darker (altho there is a moment at the end that is pure Scooby Doo); Good and Bad are blending to grey.
Meh points: Arachne's voice has developed a harsh Chinese accent; Rachel is still an undeveloped character; must there always be pages and pages of a big gun battle? Yawn.

Good baddies & bad goodies

after having read all the books in the series before this one it took me nearly 8 months to eventually buy this book because of a twist I didn't want to happen with the main character. I kick myself as jacka masterfully enthralled and weaves his magic throughout the pages to deliver another superb story I only wish I hadn't waited so long. after this review I'm going to buy the next in the series.

another fresh and constant from Jacka
