The Rook<\/a>. As you can see in the linked review I was a bit worried about how sequels could add anything worthwhile to the world of the Chechquy.
\nI’m happy to report that this is a fun book in it’s own right. It earns much of it’s appeal from the way that it dives into the history and motivations of the Grafters (Centuries old enemies of the Chechquy) as the two groups enter formal negotiations.
\nUnlike the first book very little of this tale is told from the perspective of Myfanwy Thomas. Instead the lead characters are a junior member of the Grafters and the agent assigned as her bodyguard.
\nIt certainly isn’t without flaws – there’s an unnecessary subplot and one of the action set pieces is rather confusing – but it is still very enjoyable.
\nI’d happily recommend it to fans of the first book, though I’d read The Rook first if you haven’t come to the series yet.<\/p>\nRating: B+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
