REVIEW:
As this series by Benedict carries on it really is starting to come into its own with me liking each offering more and more. Here in the latest book, the lead character grows emotionally that allows the reader to get a better grip on him, which when blended with a solid style of storytelling in an established world really allows the reader to get hold of what’s going on.
Add to this some unusual predicaments alongside some great sleight of hand makes this series one that I’m really getting into. Finally add to the mix a solid overall arc with cracking pace and all round this book was a definite cracker.
