Summary
Welcome back to Rotherweird.
The town of Rotherweird has been independent from the rest of England for 400 years to protect a deadly secret.
Sir Veronal Slickstone is dead, his bid to exploit that secret consigned to dust, leaving Rotherweird to resume its abnormal normality after the travails of the summer...but someone is playing a very long game.
Disturbing omens multiply: a funeral delivers a cryptic warning; an ancient portrait speaks; the Herald disappears - and democracy threatens the uneasy covenant between town and countryside.
Geryon Wynter's intricate plot, centuries in the making, is on the move. Everything points to one objective - the resurrection of Rotherweird's dark Elizabethan past - and to one date: the Winter Solstice.
Wynter is coming....
Critic reviews
"Intricate and crisp, witty and solemn. Line by line, silent and adroit, it opens a series of trap-doors in the reader's imagination." (Hilary Mantel, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall)
"Baroque, Byzantine and beautiful - not to mention bold. An enthralling puzzle picture of a book." (M. R. Carey, best-selling author of The Girl with All the Gifts)

Great second instalment
I very much enjoyed the first book which I listened to without knowing it was part of a planned trilogy. I was glad to revisit the characters and the town. The story is complex and intriguing and the writing style refined. The narrator reads quite slowly but it suits the style of the book and lets the listener absorb the story. Every main character has its unique personality and there are quite a few surprises along the way. I would definitely recommend. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the story doesn't really conclude and we now have to wait until May 2019 to find out what happens.

It's complicated
Perhaps I left it too long between the first and second book. It's complicated and although clever, I get to the end only to still be lost, not entirely sure what has happened.
It ended up being a bit of a slog and I have to decide whether to listen to book three now (probably the best idea) or to something a bit more understandable.
I the future, if time permits, I might try physical books to see if being more engaged helps.

Surprised yet stunning
Found this in the sale and got book one and two, thought I’d try something new and boy was I glad I did. Stunningly well performed and written and I cannot wait to finish the trilogy.
