3.5 stars.. I liked this book much more than the first book, Midnight Riot/Rivers of London. I guess I liked Constable Peter Grant on his own more than being a subpar trainee and then practicing forms in magical training. And I also liked the jazz scene and the monsters in this book more than the family politics of the river gods of London. Learned a lot about the Grant family and Lord Grant, Peter's jazz legend father and his feisty mother.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Men who have had their dangly bits bitten off by a woman with teeth in her ladygarden and Jazz musicians who've dropped dead after a gig.

Rather conflicted about this book, as I loved the first one - something here didn't quite click for me. The main problem I have with this book, is that there is a whole storyline that wasn't resolved - I'm talking about the men who had their bits bitten off. OK, yes we know who did it, but not why. I don't understand how the early victims tied into everything. ...more

Přiznávám, že Peter mi začíná mi být čím dál míň sympatický. Není to "černý mág" ale "eticky znevýhodněná osoba praktikující magii"? To jako fakt? A nebylo to myšleno ironicky, on na tomhle se vší vážností trval. A skutečnost, že tento díl sklouzl do "soft p*rna", zvlášť když se příběh točil okolo, mimo jiné, sexuálního zneužívání magických bytostí? Myslím, že to si autor mohl ušetřit. Opravdu mi začíná vadit, že Peter, který se magii učí jak dlouho? Půl roku? Má pocit, že ví všechno líp než jeh ...more

**3.5**

It took me forever to read this one, but please don't think that's a reflection on this second installment of the Peter Grant series. (Instead blame work, moving house, and the holiday season.)

Peter continues to be an engaging lead and the supporting characters remain intriguing. With each book, Aaronovitch is expanding the world and our knowledge of magic and he's keeping me anxious to discover future twists and turns - especially where Peter's boss, Nightingale, is concerned.

I'm pleased ...more
