And now I've run out of Rivers of London audio books to listen to.

I deeply adore Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's narration.

Except maybe the foxes.

The newest Rivers of London novel continues to be an exciting urban fantasy mystery. I still am in love with the characters, though I do wish some of the side characters received more spotlight. Aaronovitch continues to introduce more interesting characters, but the ensemble cast is getting a little difficult to juggle. I found myself looking up online just who this randomly dropped name was from time to time.

I also found the central mystery a little lacking. However, I get the feeling that this was a transitional novel that is setting up the narrative arc for future novels. Still, it is an enjoyable book and I look forward to where the series goes from here.

I can always count on this series via audio to get me out of a book slump or cure me from a book hangover. Not because these are the best books ever. Or that I would recommend them to everyone. It would be like my mom telling me to find joy in CSI. The point I’m trying to make is if you like magic systems, this is a weird but wonderful series for your ears. I find the characters /world building is easy to love and fun to imagine. So happy to read (British?) Hollywood picked up this series. I will be happy to re-consume these plots in another format.

3.75/5 (rounded up)
