I really enjoyed this second book in the series, even more than I enjoyed the first book. At this point the characters and their stories are well-established, and they continue to get more interesting. The first book had some pretty dark things in it, but I’d say this book was at least a shade dar...
This review was written by Michael Cummings, senior reviewer with the Fantasy Book Addict website.Where to begin with the second volume of the Dagger and the Coin?

He really should pay closer attenti...

Abraham has built an interesting world around the 13 ...
