About this listen

The third book in a rollicking fantasy series where the grit of grimdark meets a police procedural, and it's up to two watchmen to protect the streets of one of fantasy's most dangerous cities.

Yenara is a sprawling, dirty city. Filled to bursting with heroes questing, mages testing out spells, thieves around every corner, elves judging everyone, dwarves hating everyone, orcs fighting everyone, and humans being typical humans. Enter Rem and Torval: one a human, the other a dwarf, and both working as Watchwardens.

Now, they must escort a notorious thief through a dangerous forest to the nearby city from where the thief escaped. But the thief's companions are waiting, and the soldiers Rem and Torval travel with might not be so honorable.

The best so far

Really enjoyed listening to this audio. Fast paced , adventurous and humorous. Building on the two main characters of the previous books this is the best so far - hope for more in this series. Simon Vance as narrator superb as always . A “ripping yarn”

Not for me

I couldn't really get into this. I just didn't find the world that had been created here compelling enough to engage me. The world is shallow and characters are one dimensional and very few aspects of the story line are linked together in such a way that they constantly engage you. Too much waffling around and there seemed to be no clear plot or purpose to many aspects of the story early on and tied together in a clumsy manner later. Too much about the "code" always mentioned and I got to the point that if I heard the "code" mentioned one more time in the book I would scream. If I didn't know better I would have said it was someones first attempt at writing a novel. If this hadn't been an audio book or the fact that Simon Vance was narrating it, I probably wouldn't have got past the first couple of chapters. I didn't even finish the last few chapters as I know I would definitely not read the rest of the series.
