Summary
A finalist for the 2017 Locus Award for Best Novella!
It’s December in the English village of Lychford - the first Christmas since an evil conglomerate tried to force open the borders between our world and...another.
Which means it’s Lizzie’s first Christmas as Reverend of St. Martin’s. Which means more stress, more expectation, more scrutiny by the congregation. Which means...well, business as usual, really.
Until the apparition of a small boy finds its way to Lizzie in the church. Is he a ghost? A vision? Something else? Whatever the truth, our trio of witches (they don’t approve of “coven”) are about to face their toughest battle yet!
The Lost Child of Lychford is the sequel to Paul Cornell's Witches of Lychford.
Critic reviews
"Cornell weaves together a fast-paced story and engrossing character studies; he paints a setting of a gloomy English countryside, disarming his readers with magic and danger that lurks unseen. Beneath the suspense lies wry humor that buoys the tale along." (Publishers Weekly)
"Cornell introduces some genuine existential chills into this ingratiating setting." (Chicago Tribune)

Not as good as the first
The plot went downhill a bit. Too predictable. I think it being a short book meant we carried on, where we would have stopped if it was longer. Characters likable enough. We are not a fan of Emma Newman's over-pronounced and shrill narration, but this wasn't her worst. Unsure if we'll continue the series at the moment.

A most enjoyable read
Magic, Christmas in an English village and the sense of looming disaster kept me riveted till the end. Emma Newman's narration was the perfect fit for this sequel, giving the three principle characters an extra dimension and adding to the overall suspense.

Sloppy production, but otherwise ok
There are a lot of “retakes/repeats" that no-one bothered to cut out, but otherwise it passes the time. If you enjoyed the last book, you'll probably find this ok. More of the same, although not quite as good

Great books but too short.
I really do love these books. The characters are well thought out and instantly likeable....even the unlikeable ones. It’s a real shame that the stories are so short though. Especially with an audiobook, I use them to pass the time when I’m exercising or driving and I like to get my money’s worth.

Gotten irritated by annoying over use of gotten
I enjoyed the first book greatly, this, as is often the case wasn’t as good, but still engaging. However, the quintessentially English story became hugely irritating by the overuse of “gotten”; even where it was obviously inappropriate. A great shame and it would have gotten a higher score if I hadn’t gotten annoyed with the gotten repetition of gotten. My only other complaint is, that, once again no one gotten around to listening to the book before release, otherwise they would have gotten some editing out of the mistakes made by the narrator.

terrible narration
Marisa Calvin who narrated first book did soooo much better job! I can't stand Emma's voice here, it doesn't fit
