Better than the previous one, I liked that his actions had large consciouses, killing people, even indirectly should cause problems in someone's life even if they're not legal problems.
These really do lend themselves to binge-reading. Everything has consequences in later books...
3*
This one is definitely not one of my favourite books in the series. The book wasn't bad or anything but the plot just didn't interest me like the plot of the previous books. The one thing I did find fascinating was that we finally meet Richard in person but besides that not much. I'm really angry at Sonder and Anne right now but I hope their relationship with Alex will get better again. Well, off to the next book in this series...

I still really like this series! I didn't connect with this particular plot quite as much as the plots of previous books, but I had a good time overall.
Things are starting to rock along now for Alex Verus. Nine months out from the last book finds him dealing with some fractured relationships. I can understand everyone's point of view and no one is really "wrong" but it's still sad to see. We also see the past come back to bite a couple of characters in the you-know-what. Suddenly, the future is not looking so bright for our favorite English mage. Intensifying stakes, well written magic battles, and some over due insight into at least one of the secondary characters makes this a standout for me in this series and ensures that I will continue to follow Alex on his adventures.

Interesting part as in - how people react to the events of "Chosen" and that we finally get to meet Alex former Master.
The plot with the kidnapping/looking for/finding Anne hasn't been anything new but I still liked reading about it. Anne's backstory though? *meep*
I'm very curious what Richard is up to and hope that Alex (and his friends) manage to stay safe.
