Goes at quite a pace and packs in two world wars! Pleased that this time there are (strong-minded) women statues - not very many in London which makes this a bit of a challenge for the author I admit - and the characters are more complicated, although a tad annoyed that the BL continues to be a "bad" place.

Very good book series but I am a little too old to enjoy this as thoroughly as it should be. That being said, I am invested in finding out what happens so on to the next installment!

Every bit as gripping as the first book which is not something that always happens. Strong characters and totally believable story

I purchased all three of these. Struggled to get through the first. Hours into book two and I found I just could not listen to it anymore. I feel like these are probably really good stories - I just cannot get into them at all and found myself avoiding it. So yeah. Just no.

This book was much better than the first book in the series. We learn very important things about the past in his world of un-London. We also see the very deep important character flaws or strengths of each person. There are new character introduced, we see the story of our glint pass through the past and the present and we learn a lot about the Walker. George is presented with the problem of having to conquer 3 challenges or die because he too the hard way. Those are interesting parts of the book. I thought the author did a good job moving between the different scenes with the various characters with varying chapter lengths but I think that near the end it jumped a lot really fast.

Liked it. Didn't love it. Little slow at the beginning. But I think that was because they were trying to make it understandable to people who hadnt read the first book or who had a long time between reads. But it picked up after that. Next book should be a good one.

Not as enjoyable as the first, I like it better when George and Edie are tackling things together, but it wasn't bad. Will read the last one.
