Publisher's summary

Searching for redemption in the shifting realm between the human and fae worlds, not-so-reformed fae steward Athelas seems likely instead to find death, dismemberment, and deadly magic . . .

Exiled, excommunicated, and with a bounty on his head, Athelas is lying low in Seoul for exactly one reason: he has a wedding to attend. Whether or not he's welcome is another matter.

Luckily for Athelas, several bodies have turned up with their soft insides gnawed out, whether by magic or Behindkind—and the latest of those bodies is at the very wedding hall he has been staking out. The Behindkind investigators suspect one of Athelas's housemates: YeoWoo, a gumiho with a thirst for revenge and an even greater appetite for soft underbelly than Athelas. To buy herself time, YeoWoo barters alibis with the suspiciously quiet fae sharing her house, but to remain free, she must find the real murderer.

By joining the investigation, Athelas has exactly the chance he needs to prove that he is now a repentant, changed, and selfless fae, bent on atoning for former deeds . . . no matter how many Behindkind and humans he has to cut through to confirm that impression.

A redemption story!

I loved Gingell’s City Between series! I couldn’t believe it when I heard that she was writing a spin off series about Athelas. This is the perfect start to a new series. I don’t typically like morally gray characters, but I loved Athelas in CB - The World Behind is Athelas trying to find the path of redemption so that he can convince Pet that he has reformed.

Great to be back in the behind

A natural follow on from the between series. Great story, great characters. It is let down by the narrator though. Terrible accents and very little distinction between characters made it tough to listen to. I found myself having to repeat sections several times to understand what was happening. Worth putting up with though for Gingell’s writing.

I was just happy to be back in Gingell's world

I like the complexity of Athelas' character. I did not like the slow drawn out voices the narrator used. It actually made it difficult to follow what he was saying. Looking forward to book 2!
