Magic is out of fashion. Outlaws make their own. Jemis Greenwing has slain a dragon, been acknowledged as the Viscount St-Noire, and not incidentally also been given a raise. After a chaotic first month back in Ragnor Bella, he's finally feeling confident that he can make it to the Winterturn Assizes and the reading of his stepfather's will without falling headlong into any more disaster. Then he's arrested on suspicion of murder. By magic. Of one of the greatest folk heroes of legend. Trained to be a politically radical gentleman-of-leisure, Jemis thought he was doing fairly well as a bookstore clerk. That, of course, is before he ends up on the run in the Arguty Forest confronting highwaymen, illegal distillers, the odd relation, and the Wild Saint--not to mention the secrets a town truly committed to being infamously dull can hold. Book Three of Greenwing & Dart, fantasies of manners--and mischief.… (mehr)

At this point, this series has become one of my great pleasure go-tos. The continuing unfurling of unexpected adventures (arrest, prison break, coach full of magisters, death cults, semi-sacred highwaymen) and extremely satisfying friendships is a total delight. Also, the very uncomfortable emotional growth that Jemis is experiencing is satisfying in its own right, although I'd really like it if they get around to healing Mr. Dart's stone arm. I'm also kind of pleased that while this is the kind of story where the main character falls into greater powers/influence, it is then almost immediately being shared back out again, which seems like a relief to Mr. Greenwing, who has entirely too much on his plate.

It's very nearly the Winterturn Assizes, the time of the year Jemis has been waiting for so that his stepfather's will can be read and his sisters and stepmother will get their inheritances. But he is in jail, unsure of how he got there after going out for a run and - after two mysterious men turn up in his cell - makes his escape back to the "sleepy" town of Ragnor Bella.

Another enjoyable entry in the Greenwing & Dart series. Jemis Greenwing is a bit naive and the reader will be able to figure out certain things before him, but it's extremely enjoyable to follow along his adventures. This book answers some of the questions left from the first book, but leaves a lot open for further developments. ( )

Finding himself in jail for the murder of a legendary outlaw in the form of a dragon is a new experience for Jemis, but it's worse that he doesn't remember how he got there across the northern forest from stopping at the crossroads during his morning run. No time is wasted as he escapes with two shady characters and they return to the not so sleepy anymore area of Ragnor Bella. Then things get more interesting. Another headlong rush of an adventure in at which a thing or two - but not that thing - get explained. ( )

More apparently random events that keep dovetailing in very interesting fashions. By the end of this...a lot becomes clear, about Jakory and Vorel and the cult (though who _is_ the Black Priest?). Many of the questions from earlier in the series are answered. And now there's a whole new set of questions… ( )
