Publisher's Summary

Escaping from the attentions of the Bondsmagi Locke Lamora, the estwhile Thorn of Camorr and Jean Tannen have fled their home city. Taking ship they arrive in the city state of Tal Varrar where they are soon planning their most spectacular heist yet; they will take the luxurious gaming house, The Sinspire, for all of its countless riches.

No-one has ever taken even a single coin from the Sinspire that wasn't won on the tables or in the other games of chance on offer there.

But, as ever, the path of true crime rarely runs smooth and Locke and Jean soon find themselves co-opted into an attempt to bring the pirate fleet of the notorious Zamira Drakasha to justice. Fine work for thieves who don't know one end of galley from another. And all the while the Bondsmagi are plotting their very necessary revenge against the one man who believes e has humiliated them and lived; Locke Lamora.

Boring! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This author, like Stephen King is in dire need of a seriously good editor. Far, far, far too long with not enough story or plot to sustain such a length.
The performers talents are wasted on such drivel.

On par if not better than the first

Enjoyed just as much as the first, even though it was quite different. I think the narrator stepped the performance up a notch too.

Absolutely superb

A stunning second instalment in a really good series. Michael Page's performance is incredible yet again! He brings so much life to the characters and makes it way more emotive than it would have been otherwise. Definitely worth the entire month it took me to listen to haha

Up to scratch!

As the first in the trilogy, this is a really well-written and narrated book - it is a good story if you liked the first adventure with a sprinkling of pirates along with the heist just for good measure!

Uneven pacing with story needing more editing

This is very much in the vein of the first book however it feels like two distinctly different stories were crammed into this book which was very jarring. The pacing at times was frustrating and I had to listen to a different book halfway through. The initial chapter cliffhanger is pointless because it takes so long to get to that point. However the last couple of hours do work as it all speeds up to the final resolution and I found these last few hours offered moments of happiness, bitterness and in between. I'm not sure I would recommend it.
