This is a good story once you get your bearings.  The prologue sets up the story intense and draws you in. Then, however, I was lost. The Formatting made it challenging to follow and figure out exactly what is going on.  But if you stick it out and go back more than once, you will realise that the story is told from both Silas and Dunewell’s viewpoints.  It could have been clearer, and the audiobook especially is confusing in the beginning.  But the story is good enough that I am willing to read the next one. Dunewell seems like an interesting and formidable character, and I would love to see what happens.

The audiobook was well narrated, sometimes it seems as if the narrator stumbles over his words, but he does a good job.

So if you like a good whodunit and love Fantasy, I would recommend it. With the caveat that the book can be confusing initially, once you figure out what is going on and what fits where it is a good read.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
