I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

This is the sequel to the gripping novel, The Gilded Ones. 

Six months ago Deka freed the goddesses of and discovered her true identity. War rages on in Otera and a new threat reveals itself, can Deka and her army stop it, and is everything she was told really true?

I read this book in nearly one sitting; it's, action packed sequel, full of twists you can't see coming. 

The strong ties between Deka and her friends bring necessary warmth to an otherwise dark story. Forna smartly uses this fantasy world to challenge to some important issues in the real world too.

I can't wait to see how this trilogy concludes.

When a young man and colleague of Sanna’s is found murdered in a storage room of a pharmacy, it brings a police officer from her past back into her life.

There’s an interesting story to be told here, but unfortunately the execution missed the mark. This was partly down to the translation from Finnish, words were used that made zero sense in the context; this lead to what was already a confusing book being even more confusing. The book jumped from place to place and character to character without proper explanation.

I received a copy of this from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is a short story collection of the fabulous 1920s private detective, Phryne Fisher. All but 4 of these stories were previously published as "A Question of Death". 

These and cute, fun little stories I recommend to all readers of the Phryne Fisher books.
