About this listen

Fans of Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher will revel in this fiery tale of magic, mayhem and modern-day mythology.

Behind every myth there is a spark of truth....

There's nothing special about Ben Garston.

Or so he'd have you believe. He won't tell you, for instance, that he's also known as Red Ben. Or that the world of myth and legend is more real than you think.

Because it's his job to keep all that a secret.

But now a centuries-old rivalry has resurfaced, and the delicate balance between his world and ours is about to be shattered.

Something is hiding in the heart of the city - and it's about to be unleashed.

Entertaining and imaginative, although at times annoyingly repetitive descriptions of conversion from person to dragon. At times rather poetic.

Well written, enjoyable story

not enough character building, too much overly theatrical fighting and grandiose description of too many interwoven mythological narratives.

great if you like dragon fights but overdone
