A fast-paced fantasy adventure set in a broken, future England, following the further exploits of the outlaws Scarlett and Browne.

Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne have outwitted their pursuers and escaped into the wilderness once more, and it’s not long before they become famous for their audacious heists across the Seven Kingdoms. Yet neither is fully able to escape the shackles of the past – as they discover when a dangerous job turns sour.

Soon old enemies and sinister new threats are pressing in on every side, and Scarlett and Browne must pull off an impossible mission and strike out against The Faith Houses and the Brothers of the Hand if they are to save the people they hold most dear.

I like Jonathan Stroud and this is the same standard I have come to expect. I love his style of dialogue, the excellent description keeping pace and imagination during the action and the plot itself. every book I've listened to has been well read, with voices that match the characters and pace to match the scene. the books always leave me wanting to go to the next one. my only complaint now is that I've listened to all of them, however they are also good a second time!

I brought my children up on Lockwood &co, and they remain to this day a favorite series from Jonathan Strous. I personally found the Bartimus series difficult to get into, but again my grown up kids still love them. this series I have managed to get before my kids, now adults. i just love them. i didnt think i would ever like a character more than lucy in Lockwood, but Scarlett is catching up. And yes I know the scary bits freak me out much more than the kids, but i still love it. However, i may never go into a cave again in my life.

such a good book, with scary bits too

Loved this book. I haven’t been so involved in a book for ages, invested in the characters and world he created. It is a brutal world, scary in bits and complex with the history dripped to the reader slowly through the book. A lovely balance between the predictable and quirky. The characters are warm, three dimensional and champions for all who don't fit into a mould .
I was worried reading the other review that they might have changed the narrator from the first book but it’s the same one. Not distinctive character voices but a nice pace and intonation through out. A very nice listen. Can’t wait for the next in the series.

Jonathan Stroud never ever disappoints. Even though this particular series reminds me of 'The Crysalids' a little. The reader is also excellent.

Excellent

I absolutely love these books! I read them because I really enjoyed the story telling of Lockwood & co, so I wanted to listen to another book by Stroud. I liked these even better.

Really hope for another book in the series.
