Publisher's Summary
The Scarab Path is the fifth book in the critically acclaimed epic-fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Ancient powers are waking....
The war with the Wasp Empire has ended in a bitter stalemate, and Collegium has nothing to show for it but wounded veterans. Cheerwell Maker finds herself broken in ways no doctor can mend, haunted by ghosts of the past. Meanwhile, the powerful Wasp Empress is regaining control over those imperial cities that refused to bow to her. But she draws her power from something more sinister than armies and war machines.
Only her consort, the former spymaster Thalric, knows the truth. As assassins seek to end him, he finds his life and his loyalties under threat once again. And in an ancient city beyond the desert, a terrible secret stirs beneath its stones.
The Scarab Path is followed by the sixth book in the Shadows of the Apt series, The Sea Watch.

Best one of the series up to this point!
On the whole I enjoyed all the books of this series, though this one is in my honest opinion the best one so far in it, at least up to this point.

A new branch
Whilst it started a bit disjointed, the scarab path ended in such a way that opens the door for a new era of apt vs inapt. Ben continues his uncanny ability to convey characters which are both instantly recognisable and also relatable to their kin and geographic location.

best in the series
Tightest plot so far, much less meandering and not so many moving parts as earlier volumes. Also the romance we've all been waiting for. compelling mystery element, less politics and more action.

What a great story arc!
What a great story arc! I am still reeling from the death toll in Salute the Dark but wow! This series is deep with so many examples of the detriment for society that comes from exclusion because of race or blood or capability.
Ben Allen is an incredible voice artist- how many accents he can do in a conversation and not mix them is his superpower
