About this listen

NATHAN TREEVES is dead, murdered by the Master of Mordew, his remains used to create the powerful occult weapon known as the Tinderbox.

His companions, scattered, are making for Malarkoi—the city of the Mistress, the Master's most powerful enemy. Hoping to find welcome there, or at least safety, they find neither... and instead become embroiled in a life and death struggle against assassins, demi-gods, and the cunning plans of the Mistress.

Only Sirius, Nathan's faithful dog, has not forgotten the boy. Bent on revenge, he returns to the shattered remains of Mordew, newly deformed into an impossible mountain, swarming with monsters. He senses something in the Manse at its pinnacle–the Master is there, grieving the loss of his manservant, Bellows–and in the ruins of the slums he finds a power capable of destroying his foe, if only he has the strength to use it.

I listened to the first book in the series entitled “Mordew” and really enjoyed the story and the narrating. I was excited for the next book.
The only good thing about “Malarkoi”, the second in the series is the Narrator, Kobna Holdbrook.
I wanted to return this book because the beginning was so slow- a sort of recap of book 1. I should’ve returned this book because the descriptions are unnecessarily long and tedious. It feels like the whole story could’ve been told in 1 hour and the rest is padded out just to annoy and frustrate the listener.
If you do get this title you’ll know what I mean- don’t persist with it, it won’t get better. Return it and use your credit on something else.

I like this narrator but the book was too long and the concepts convoluted. Lots of repetition.
