Arm of the Sphinx by Josiah Bancroft

5.0

A really charming read, a very enjoyable and engaging book. Filled with wonderful adventures and misadventures. I enjoyed the first book in the series but this one was even better. Although a small cast of characters they are all relatable and well written. I have yet to make my mind up on one, whether they are black or a shade of grey. The next book will be very interesting indeed.

I am curious to see where it goes from here, the ending is somewhat of a cliffhanger. I have my own impression and expectation for the future books and I hope what I want to happen, does. I think it would be more fitting and I think the seeds are planted.

For me this series is the highlight of my reading year so far, quickly becoming a favourite. Bring on the next book although I may leave it a while, so much backlog.

I read this via Kindle Whispersync and the narrator was superb and really brings the characters to life and makes the book a joy to both read and listen to. The series was slow starting but after midway through book one it is nothing short of superb.
