Review of 'The Subtle Knife' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Entirely different from the first book in tone and scope, but continuing the excellent story and delivering everything that was promised and more. Suffers a little from second-in-the-trilogy syndrome, meandering and not quite satisfying on its own.

Again I listened to the excellent audiobook version, by the author and a full cast.
