Two new apprentices. One charming engineer. A potential battle with both sea serpents and evil sorcerers.

When Sorcerer Adrien Danvers takes on a job that leads him into the slums of England, he never imagined he'd end up with not one but two apprentices. Despite his doubts about himself, he's the only chance the two pre-teens have to escape their hellish life.

When Sir Hugh Quartermain contracts him to deal with the mysterious circumstances surrounding his home on the Isle of Man, Adrien finds the more time they spend together, the more his walls come down around the beguiling engineer—an unusual occurrence and a terrifying prospect.

As it turns out, this case is about to take a turn—a battle with both beast and man, the ultimate test of Adrien's willingness to accept help. When he does, Hugh proves to be a fierce protector and friend, more so than Adrien could've ever bargained for, and he finds himself longing for something he shouldn't.

Falling for his new friend is not a complication Adrien needs. (His matchmaking apprentices disagree.)

Enjoyable story that is well written with likeable characters and good world building. The narration is very good as well.

Enjoyable Story

Firstly the narrator. The Posh English Gentleman was... passable.... The Irish was laughable.... and the Scottish?!?! Has the narrator never heard a Scottish person speak before? It was like a cockney pirate trying to do an bad irish accent. It just put me right off.

I came to this story as i quite enjoyed the Mage's Guide books, This book was ok... not a lot of drama, no comedy, not a lot of anything really but enjoyable enough to pass some time.

Accents are awful!!

In general this was a fun book, but was spoiled by a narrator who cannot do appropriate accents at all and some of the author’s vocabulary choices. A character came back from “the loo” with dripping hair, for example. What was he doing? Swimming in the toilet? The metric system for lengths wasn’t used in 1930s London, stone (while used at the time) is not an appropriate unit for tons of metal, and pounds (currency) were a lot more valuable and rarely used. I give the author points back for not using decimal currency, though.

Needs extensive Britpicking

I read this book when it came out and loved it. I'm a huge fan of the author, this book is quite different to their other stuff, its set at the beginning of the 1900's and is a very slow burn. But thats fine because its all story. Magic is real and openly used, the apprentices still have stigma because of their poverty and the industrial revolution is still occuring. There is still a lot of back stiry to be explored so I'm looking forward to future books in the series.
Now to the part where I feel mean but its just honesty. The narrator is clearly not British and the whole book is set in the UK so is performed in a British accent. Unfortunately this narrator can't do a British accent. Now I AM British so maybe I'm hypersensitive but he gets so many pronunciations wrong I was just cringing. Also, because I like and trust the author, I hadn't thought to listen to a sample before i purchased so thats on me. The narrator did have slightly different accents for each character, one of which was Irish for reasons that I didn't understand, and the recording was clear so i would listen to them narrating a book where a British accent wasn't required but sadly this one wasn't for me.

Great book, terrible narrator
