Summary

The last time Conrad was unemployed, he got a visit from the Allfather. Look where that got him....

And now the Gnomes of Lakeland want him to be the new Commissioner.

A simple job: Sort out the Assessors and put the Grand Union on a stable footing. They’re even willing to pay for an assistant to help him with the difficult magick stuff. What could possibly go wrong?

When you have two powerful factions who both think that they're above the law, you have a recipe for trouble when they fall out. Conrad has barely unpacked his suitcase before the Fae Queen of Derwent is in a standoff with the Greenings, and neither side look like they want to back down.

The peaceful fells and dales of Lakeland are about to see an all-out war unless Conrad, Cordelia, and his under-strength team can keep them apart. When the walls close in, Conrad will need to make new friends and watch his back.

It all starts with a race down Great Langdale and it ends with an appointment at Lakeland’s oldest boundary marker, the Four Roads Cross.

Grab yourself a copy of the new adventure in the King’s Watch and immerse yourself once again in the world of Conrad and Company.

Great Series, excellent narration

I have ordered next one ( only in kindle) waiting for audio to come out. Would love audiobooks of 'Jigsaw' trilogy and 'Tom Morton' the mundane world books

Fab story, confusing narration

I loved this book, as I have loved all of the King's Watch series. However, I didn't enjoy listening to a lot of this. I hated the additional narration from Tamsin (nothing personal!) In a series this long you get very used to Ciaran's different accents and voices for the characters, especially the main ones, and know who is speaking to whom instantly. I hated my favourite characters having a different voice put in their mouths and I got more than a little confused at times as to who was actually talking. Due to the story arc I can understand why this twin narrative was taken but it ruined it for me. I'm sure it wouldn't bother most people but it's all down to personal choice. The story was fantastic though, the best yet and as usual I can't wait until the next one!

Really didn’t like this one

First, as with the previous few books the lady narrator was awful. The accents she did were terrible. There was a scene were Mini talked to Vicky and you couldn’t tell which was which. All the accents and demeanour she gave to other characters was so far from what the male narrator did. Completely ruined it for me.

I’m glad Cordelia is dead because hopefully that narrator won’t come back.

Secondly I have no real idea what happend in this story. They played a card game, then they went to the magic horse race and then… no idea really.

Hopefully Conrad getting his old job back will get the story on track again.
