About this listen

A killer walks among the rich and powerful. Who can the Magebreakers trust? Someone is killing the non-magical members of Senate houses - those who might one day be named Protector of the Realm. And that same someone is leaving behind messages for the Magebreakers beside symbols of the shadowy organization known as the Knights of the Emperor.

Under suspicion from the constabulary, Tane and Kadka are drawn into the investigation to prove their innocence. What they find is that Audish politics are as dangerous as any Porthaven back alley. Suddenly, they're surrounded by the most powerful figures in the realm, everyone with a different agenda. Telling allies from enemies has never been harder, but Tane and Kadka will have to find someone to trust if they're going to bring the killer to justice. Their lives - and the future of the Protectorate - depend on it.

Where do I begin??!!!

So glad Mage Breakers is a series. Great characters, great story lines. I can’t put the books down. I hope there is a next series and that author is working on the one after that…

Light, amusing and perfect pairing of author and narrator.

I’m thoroughly enjoying these stories. They are way to listen to but just engaging enough to keep me absorbed whilst busy doing other things.

Short, obvious but enjoyable

I enjoyed this book but a brain teaser it is not.

the main chars are fun, the world is interesting but this needed a lot more meat to the story

A good sequel

Stumbled across the first in the series by accident, I do think it had the better story but that is often the way, perhaps as you have fewer preconceived expectations. Would have liked a touch more development of established characters but the story was compelling and all in all a nice bit of light listening in a well constructed world, if you liked the first one I am sure you will enjoy this too.

Painfully obvious

I would have liked this story, the beginning was good, the end was good, the middle was painful. Spoilers but someone's brother dies and his family don't know who did it. The guy is a drone expert. Then someone else dies in a room only accessible by drone. Then they interrupt another murder being carried out by a drone-like creature.

It's like the author was waving a massive flag at who the murderer was and then you have the remaining 80% of the book with the main characters being oblivious. Made me want to scream to be honest. I really liked this series to start with and I'm curious how it'll play out but I can't bring myself to read more after this one.

Narration was fine.
