Critics' reviews

Jacka has drawn a potent new world of magic controlled by a privileged few, and Stephen Oakwood is the sigl-wielding rebel we didn't know we needed (New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill)
Captivating, compelling (SFX)

Since I’ve inhaled the entire Alex Verus series multiple times, I was looking for something as detailed and perfectly layed out but couldn’t find something similar. Until now!
Seems like my favourite Autor did it again!
This was the first book of hopefully many many more! Great plot, the story is unbelievably good and just like in the Alex Verus series the magic combined with style of storytelling is nothing more than perfect!
I just finished listening and I already want the time to go quicker so I can jump right into the next thrilling story of Stephen Oakwood! Damn I wished the second and maby third book were available already!

Damn, just DAMN!

Wie von Jacka gewohnt ist dieser Band sehr gut geschrieben, die Geschichte ist packend und macht Lust auf mehr. Der britische Sprecher ist fantastisch. 

Großartiger Start in eine neue Reihe

Die Geschichte ist typisch Jacka/ Jim Butcher spannend. Ich habe es in wenigen Tagen durchgeführt.

Der Sprecher ist absolut fantastisch! angenehm zu hören, sehr lebendig ohne übertrieben nervig zu sein, kann die verschiedenen Charaktere auseinander halten und - sogar die Katze kriegt er richtig super hin.

awesome Speaker

If I had one criticism of the book, I'd say it's too short. Hope part 2 is on its way already...

riveting. i was hooked from the start. masterclass in how to pack a metric ton of world building into an action spattered continuously high stakes slightly lower stakes carousel that just keeps on going. so glad i only found this now two weeks out from the sequel because i CANNOT WAIT for the next installment. Pre-order check.

metric ton of world building packaged into action packed bitsizes. fantastic.
