Cold Iron Task

The Unorthodox Chronicles, Book 3

De: James J. Butcher

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

Grimsby, a junior Auditor in the magical Department of Unorthodox Affairs, finds himself on the other side of the law in this spellbinding urban fantasy.

Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby may have one case under his belt, but he’s still a novice Auditor in Boston’s Department of Unorthodox Affairs. And he’s already made mistakes.

Desperate to repair his fraying friendships, he doesn’t ask too many questions when a mysterious patron offers him the chance to join a heist of an otherworldly vault—and in the process find answers that could make things right.

Complications arise when Grimsby learns that his partner, Mayflower, is keeping secrets about his past. Between facing new demons, old horrors, and monsters—both Usual and Unorthodox—Grimsby soon realizes nothing is how it appears and that not asking enough questions just might be his downfall.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Solid action and quippy dialogue will keep readers engaged for the long haul.”—Library Journal

"Cold Iron Task does an excellent job of building on the previous books. . . . where The Unorthodox Chronicles shines is its characters. . . . I fully enjoyed Cold Iron Task . . . and devoured it in only a couple of sittings, and I can't wait to see how Butcher continues to weave the threads he has started laying out in these early books."— Game Vortex

"If you love urban fantasy, compelling character dynamics, and a perfect mix of action and heart, Cold Iron Task is a must-read. Whether you’re here for the magic, the mayhem, or the mentor-mentee banter, this book has something for you."—Tessa Talks Books

Best Book Yet

Although there were a few of the inevitable Heist tropes, I thoroughly enjoyed Cold Oron Task. James Butcher's alt Boston continues to get fleshed out and the characters are as well written as ever. Every book the story gets better and I can't wait to see what's next for Grimsby and Mayflower.

Absolutely beautiful story

Every book so far from him has been great. I have enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions this has been.

Better character development and improved continuity and dialogue flow

I like Grigsby and Mayflower. They have become partners. The contrast between the Huntsmen give Mayflower more depth. I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first. Enjoyed Wudge too

Coming together

Great story. I only saw one twist coming, well done. Looking forward to the next addition.

Can’t wait for the next installment
