Really well done. The characters are great. The writing is cool, sharp and funny. The action is well handled and the scene in the strip club of Dr Moreau is downright creepy!

What's happened to Leslie is brutal. Unfortunately I suspect any fix will come at a major cost :/

This is the second book in the series and I thought it was just as good as the first of one so I already have number three lined up.

I think I enjoyed this one even more than the first. The pacing feels snappier.

I’m listening to these, and I do intend to go through the series now that I’m invested in the characters. The narrator is fantastic, and I definitely enjoyed the musical transitions between chapters. They made me search for jazz to stream.

I like Simone in this even at the end. The interaction between her and Peter’s mother is priceless.

As much as I enjoyed the mysteries in this story, it feels like a hopping on point for more stories to come, particularly with the introduction of the evil magician and the recognition that Nightingale has been mistaken about the current status of the magical community.

I really want to know what the future has in store for Leslie. I was actually a bit irritated that she wasn’t more involved in this story. I want her …

The re-read continues. I will be hitting the comics and novellas too along the timeline from media.titan-comics.com/uploads/roltimeline.pdf. Although as the comics are very short series, I won't be dropping reviews on here.
Music (well, jazz) is a large part of this series and this is the 'jazz' book. It is very plangent and melancholic, mourning all that has been lost. There is less humour in this book, a more serious tone, but is none the less a very engaging read.
I have read this book quite a few times now and still found it very fresh and I swear I picked up on the odd thing I had not before.
The whole series is a definite recommend but this is one of the better entries, in my opinion.
