The Split Worlds story continues and everything steps up a level from [b:Between Two Thorns|15797394|Between Two Thorns (The Split Worlds, #1)|Emma Newman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355162536s/15797394.jpg|21520287]; more depth, more plots and intrigue, more jeopardy, more butlers and most definitely more tea.

With a shift of focus away from the Nether version of Bath to the one of London, mysteries surrounding the intentions of the Fae, the sorcerers and the Agency plus an intriguing new player only hinted at before, the pace of events and the stakes for the characters have increased which seems to have had the knock-on effect of me racing through this in under a week and starting book three immediately afterwards.

There's still some aspects of the Regency society of the Nether that aren't to my taste and I've flipped back and forth between loathing and rooting for Will, but with the conflicting agendas and machinations of the various sides, a willingness to kill off some characters and a wealth of plot threads left to resolve it's no wonder I've leapt straight into [b:All Is Fair|17190382|All Is Fair (The Split Worlds, #3)|Emma Newman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1374305909s/17190382.jpg|23642533].

So, time for some cake and a cup of tea then right back to see how this all ends.
