A Restless Truth
by Freya Marske
A Restless Truth, the exciting second book in Freya Marske's The Last Binding trilogy, is even better than the first and reads well as either a follow up or a stand alone.
Maud Blyth, the intrepid younger sister of [b:A Marvellous Light|53217284|A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding #1)|Freya Marske|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1634067514l/53217284._SY75_.jpg|80535939] protagonist Robin Blyth, gets caught up in a murder mystery aboard a transatlantic ocean liner in her quest to protect the remaining pieces of the Last Contract and falls for fellow passenger and adventurer, magician Violet Debenham.
Since the characters in book 1 make few appearances and the back story is sufficiently explained - parceled out bit by bit at the necessary moments - this book stands on its own, and can be read and enjoyed without having read the first book. Compared to book 1, the focus is more on the adventure than on the romance. Both books feature strong character development and world building. I absolutely love the way magic works in both books, and the way that Marske expands on the mechanics of magic in this book, adding magical traditions from other parts of the world that work differently than British magic.
The audiobook is well done. Overall an enjoyable experience.
