This is book two in the series and there were quite a few references to book one and it builds up a lot of story for book three. You could listen to this as a stand-alone novel, but I think you would get much more out of it if you listen to book one first.
This book continues a great urban fantasy series. The main character is a Necromancer that just seems to keep finding himself in bad situations, and it seems that once he gets a handle on things, everything changes. There is a lot of depth in this book due to shifting alliances and treaties and that gives this an interesting dynamic that keeps you guessing on where it will go next. The narrator does an amazing job with this book. All of the voices he used were fantastic, especially the main character’s voice. He also did an amazing job with the sound effects, like imitating the distortion you might hear when talking to someone on a phone, and coughing or laughing when the characters did. In the end, this is a great novel and a great urban fantasy series and I can’t wait to listen to more.
