Resumen del Editor

Devi Morris has a lot of problems, and not the fun, easy-to-shoot kind either. After a mysterious attack left her short several memories and one partner, she'd determined to keep her head down, do her job, and get on with her life. But even though Devi's not actually looking for it this time, trouble keeps finding her.

She sees ghostly creatures no one else can, the inexplicable black stain on her hands keeps getting bigger, and she can't seem to stop getting into compromising situations with a man she's supposed to hate. But when a deadly crisis exposes far more of the truth than she bargained for, Devi discovers there are worse fates than being shot, and sometimes the only people you can trust are the ones who want you dead.

Good Sequel

Any additional comments?

Honor’s Knight is the sequel to the fabulous Fortune’s Pawn, which was one of the best books I have read this year. Unfortunately, like many sequels, it didn’t quite match its predecessor in terms of awesomeness.

Devi is back in Honor’s Knight. She has no memories of most of the events that occurred in the previous novel. She is still on the Glorious Fool, and for some reason whenever she looks at the horrible cook, she feels repulsed and physical nauseated. Yet when she is not looking at his face, she is oddly at peace with him. Will she be able to get her memories back in time to save the universe?

I was disappointed with the balance of action/romance/violence/mystery that this book had compared to the first one. And I got a bit annoyed with her constant thought ramblings… “I don’t like Rupert, I like Rupert, I HATE Rupert, I LOVE Rupert”. There was way too much thought dialogue about trivial things too. And the romance? Lame in comparison to the first one, I was waiting for something to happen. Although I did enjoy the fight scene! And that’s all I’m going to spoil about that particular scene! Lots of fun!

Honor’s Knight still possessed some excellent qualities. The violence and action was awesome. The action never stopped. Her suit was as cool as ever, and I enjoyed the addition of some new characters that were not in the first book. Also as far as storyline goes, it really did expand and answer some questions that were lingering at the completion of the first one.

The audio book was awesome like the first with the same narrator. I have looked to see if the third one is on audiobook. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be, so I am going to have to read the third version with my eyes. This is disappointing because Emily Durante and I are in a narrator/listener groove now that I will miss. So that’s a real bummer.

However, looking forward to reading the last instalment because I want to know what happens.

Would I recommend it?

Yes, ONLY if you have read the first one. It wouldn’t go well as a stand alone. There is SO MUCH backstory you need!

Really good!

Great second installment but definitely can not be listened to on its own. The 3rd audiobook doesn't seem to be available though :'(

Second book of trilogy

This is an exciting series that I can highly recommend. With this book, there’s no need to introduce the characters or go into detailed description so it’s all action and excitement. I wasn’t a big fan of Davi at first but now I’m rooting for her wholeheartedly.

Why no book 3 on audio tape?

Great book but why isn't book 3 on audio tape, I enjoy listening to the books.

So disappointed

I loved the first book in this series, but this one does not compare. It's just boring. In the first one, there were so many interesting characters to meet and mysteries to explore. This book has none of that. There's not enough plot to fill one book, yet it ends in the middle of the story to make you get the next one. Just sad.

Awesome story, but narrator isn't working for me

As with the first book, I normally takes me 30min or so at high speed to begin to ignore this narrator. Some characters work while others totally pull me out of the story.

As for the book itself, it is a great read. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

awesome book

awesome story, great narration but a complete shame that book 3 was never put on audio.

always good!

fun, and the story is constant! hope the 3rd comes out on audible. e-book dont do justice!

still great the second time

I love this book. this is the second time I have read/listened to the series. it is fantastic. clever, original and witty.

Excellent

I loved it. I loved the characters and their story. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. The narration was excellent also.
