About this listen

A missing girl leads the Magebreakers into a deadly race, with her life as the prize.

Thaless is still reeling from the actions of the assassin known as the Emperor's Mask, and in the aftermath, believers in magical superiority have been greatly emboldened. When a goblin girl named Tinga Vreeg goes missing, it seems like a tragic consequence of the atmosphere of hostility and anger toward the non-magical. But when Tane and Kadka investigate, they find a much deeper mystery. Tinga isn't the only one missing—and she might have been on the trail of something important herself.

Maybe something that can explain the impossible strength and speed of the killers trying to track her down. Or the silver fire burning in their eyes.

But one thing is certain: if Tane and Kadka don't find her first, someone is going to make sure that Tinga never tells anyone what she knows.

this story seemed a little rushed. overall good, but seemed like the author was rushed

good series

I really enjoyed the previous two books in this series. the author is the same, but for some reason they changed narrators and it REALLY takes away from the experience. his voice barely changes for the various characters, which makes it really hard to follow who's saying what in the conversations. I have to concentrate way too hard to follow along. huge disappointment.

Terrible Narrator

This series never fails to entertain. Thane and Kadka this time around has to find a missing girl and run into all sorts of hidden secrets along the way.

Short, wild, fantasy adventure

Good stuff not to heavy but not too much fluff ether. Glad they took a break from the main villain in the previous books.

This definitely has all the hallmarks of a Magebreakers adventure. Following all the clues they start to uncover a larger mystery. As their notoriety spreads the duo has a much harder time trying do anything on the down low. I didn't find this book quite as good as the first two but it was still an enjoyable read with great characters.

The narrator changes for this one and it seems like Joe Hempel tried to maintain the same voices from the first two books but he just doesn't do it as well. You can still tell who all the characters are, it just sounds a bit different. Not bad, but I do prefer the first narrator.

Great Addition

I didn’t like the fact that they changed readers, but the new guy did a good job. It’s just always odd when they do that.

I do enjoy the magic system that the author has created, especially how detailed he hast to be in order for a private detective with no magic to unwind the tail 

Entertaining and an interesting magic

Main character was referred to by two different names made it a bit confusion but it was still a great book

Great character development

This book grabs you and wont let go! I am completely obsessed with this series. the world building is spectacular, the characters are real and compelling and the relationships feel so real its like you're apart of the story. I can't wait to start book 4!

Best of the three so far!

The storyline wasn’t as good as the first two books. Changing up the narration also was a change for the worse. Very mediocre. Next story better pickup or I move on.

Not as good

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I really enjoyed the first two in the series but they changed the narrative. Having a hard time with this one. Not nearly the distinciiveness between chacters. Not sure I'll finish the series now.

Narrator change so disappointing
