I enjoyed this a lot. The world was interesting and I liked how it was constant action. I also appreciated how the book seemed mostly centered on two women and their friendship. I do wish the romance had been a bit more drawn out. It was a little too instalove for my taste.

This was a fun little office romance, I wish it had been a full length book though.

In a word this book was just fun. It's absurd and silly and yet there is still a lot of heart to it. Sometimes the jokes were a bit much but that's really my only complaint. 
I do think having read it as an audiobook really enhanced the experience.

Thank you TOR for the ARC! This was a great continuation of the first binding. I still think it follows kingkiller chronicles very closely but I like this better. 
I do think this story could have been edited down some and that the multiple stories told inside tended to really bog it down. Other than that though I was very intrigued by both main storylines.

This was fine. A bit slow at times. I really didn't care about the side stories going on with the detectives, I felt they bogged the story down. I also thought Aisling was a frustrating main character. 
Overall though there were some decent twists and turns that kept me guessing for awhi
