“Of course I’ve got a conscience, he’s sitting right next to me.”

June 22, 2017 by Mikki Blu 2 Comments

Jonah Pastern is a magician, a liar, a windwalker, a professional thief… which about sums up the character as we met him in ‘A Flight of Magpies’.  This book is set shortly after that one and is a linked story to that world.  You don’t necessarily have to read the Magpie trilogy to understand this book, but it certainly helps since many of the characters make an appearance here. Based on Jonah’s actions in the previous book, I wasn’t sure he would be a guy […]

He needs magical assistance, and fast, before he commits […]

    I felt the same way. Interesting concept, but the execution was lacking.

    on Sometimes, a book cover promises cats and lies. This book, on the other hand, delivers in spades. SO many cats, guys.
    Sooooo many cats!!
