And, of course, murder most foul... A shattering accident places Archibald Clare, mentath in the service of Britannia, in the care of Emma Bannon, sorceress Prime. Clare needs a measure of calm to repair his faculties of Logic and Reason. Without them, he is not his best. At all. Unfortunately, calm and rest will not be found. There is a killer hiding in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, murdering poor women of a certain reputation. A handful of frails murdered on cold autumn nights would make no difference...but the killings echo in the highest circles, and threaten to bring the Empire down in smoking ruins. Once more Emma Bannon is pressed into service; once more Archibald Clare is determined to aid her. The secrets between these two old friends may give an ambitious sorcerer the means to bring down the Crown. And there is still no way to reliably find a hansom when one needs it most.

Well, that was damn satisfying and by the gods ow. The sort of novel and series one needs must snuggle cats after. (

I really enjoy the characters in this series, and I liked this installment, although it was a bit gorier and grimmer than I would have liked. Sometimes I also want to give one or another of the characters a bit of a kick in the butt, but they are so intriguing that they keep me reading. I like the complexity of the alternate Victorian London the author has built, and the intricacy of the system of magic. I do hope there will be more! (

I stopped at 17% in. This book is just not providing the escape I want at the moment. I'm not sure if it's the book, or me, or just everything about 2020, but I'm not enjoying the read the way I expected to based on my enjoyment of the other two books in the series. Hopefully I'll be able to come back to it later and will enjoy it then.

The third book in the series has Clair dealing with loss and new information on just what Bannon did in order to save his life at the end of book two. Clare has tried pulling away from the world and refusing requests to work until the Queen shows up at her house and finally gets her involved in a case. With this case you find out more about Clare's childhood and even at the level she lives now where she came from still affects how people interact with her. This does touch on the the Jack the Ripper cases but the murders are used to magically fuel someone trying to take over England. I really lie the setting and the background that go into this story universe and I'm bummed that I don't know if there will ever be any more. It is a nice melding of Steam technology and magic that really works. (

Synopsis: Someone is running around London killing prostitutes. Bannon and Clare find that this killer is also a threat to Britannia and may bring her completely down. Anther Prime is somehow involved, and it takes both Bannon and Clare to sort out this riddle.
Review: There are lots of twists and turns in this one and it appears that a character from a previous book is a part of this one, (

The enthralling conclusion to the Bannon and Clare trilogy from New York Times bestselling author, Lilith Saintcrow.

Sorcery. Treason. Madness. And, of course, murder most foul...
A shattering accident places Archibald Clare, mentath in the service of Britannia, in the care of Emma Bannon, sorceress Prime. Clare needs a measure of calm to repair his faculties of Logic and Reason. Without them, he is not his best. At all.
Unfortunately, calm and rest will not be found. There is a killer hiding in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, murdering poor women of a certain reputation. A handful of frails murdered on cold autumn nights would make no difference...but the killings echo in the highest circles, and threaten to bring the Empire down in smoking ruins.
Once more Emma Bannon is pressed into service; once more Archibald Clare is determined to aid her. The secrets between these two old friends may give an ambitious sorcerer the means to bring down the Crown. And there is still no way to reliably find a hansom when one needs it most.
The game is afoot...
