About this listen

The last time Conrad was unemployed, he got a visit from the Allfather. Look where that got him....

And now the Gnomes of Lakeland want him to be the new Commissioner.

A simple job: Sort out the Assessors and put the Grand Union on a stable footing. They’re even willing to pay for an assistant to help him with the difficult magick stuff. What could possibly go wrong?

When you have two powerful factions who both think that they're above the law, you have a recipe for trouble when they fall out. Conrad has barely unpacked his suitcase before the Fae Queen of Derwent is in a standoff with the Greenings, and neither side look like they want to back down.

The peaceful fells and dales of Lakeland are about to see an all-out war unless Conrad, Cordelia, and his under-strength team can keep them apart. When the walls close in, Conrad will need to make new friends and watch his back.

It all starts with a race down Great Langdale and it ends with an appointment at Lakeland’s oldest boundary marker, the Four Roads Cross.

Grab yourself a copy of the new adventure in the King’s Watch and immerse yourself once again in the world of Conrad and Company.

The stories are very enjoyable and inventive.
Two observations:

Male narration spot on, female is a bit of a let down, especially because the female narration does not align with the initial male narration. Plus, she makes men sound for too pompous.

It might be that the writer has another demographic in mind for his readers, but the obviously layered on inclusiveness and political correctness is starting to irritate a bit. You could turn it down a notch. Without selling your soul. Would earn you an extra star from from old dinosaurs like me.

Very entertaining stories, but…

I have ordered next one ( only in kindle) waiting for audio to come out. Would love audiobooks of 'Jigsaw' trilogy and 'Tom Morton' the mundane world books

Great Series, excellent narration

This is a great series with good narration. A general moan.. at the end of each book could there be a link to the next in the series please.

I loved this book, as I have loved all of the King's Watch series. However, I didn't enjoy listening to a lot of this. I hated the additional narration from Tamsin (nothing personal!) In a series this long you get very used to Ciaran's different accents and voices for the characters, especially the main ones, and know who is speaking to whom instantly. I hated my favourite characters having a different voice put in their mouths and I got more than a little confused at times as to who was actually talking. Due to the story arc I can understand why this twin narrative was taken but it ruined it for me. I'm sure it wouldn't bother most people but it's all down to personal choice. The story was fantastic though, the best yet and as usual I can't wait until the next one!

Fab story, confusing narration
