𝑹𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑬 𝑫𝑨𝑻𝑬: 21st March 2023

The world building in this book is just brilliant. It's vibrant, full of life and well developed.

From the very first chapter there's danger and action which kept me so curious that I couldn't put this book down. The pacing was great and steady throughout the whole book too.

Although this is the second book in the series, I haven’t read the first one. This book is so well written though that I had no problems keeping up with the plot, especially because certain things from the first book were referenced to and included.

The characters were great. They were developed well and relatable. I really liked the growing relationship between Merlin and Susan, the witty banter between the characters and seeing the type of magic used in this world.

Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and I'll probably go back and read the first one too.

*Thank you to @Netgalley and the publishers for providing this ARC. This is my own opinion and an honest review, which I am leaving voluntarily*

Fetishism of guns, cars and all things British. Yuck.
