Book Description
Bust the Kingdom's scariest crime boss? There has to be an easier way for a Fool to win love! A year after the events of Fool's Proof, Malfred Murd is no longer a Fool, royal or otherwise. He’s a newly minted nobleman— who can’t help plunging back into his own special brew of trouble. This time he’s taken on a task that’s outrageous even for him: becoming an undercover officer, out to bust the biggest crime boss in a vast and decadent city. Will it win him the attention of a certain maddeningly inaccessible Lady... or get him packed at the bottom of a barrel? Follow Fred, Corvinalias, the other characters we met in “Fool’s Proof”— and a dazzling collection of new ones— on a journey through a world blending equal parts comedy, crime novel and adventure: heroic, horrific and hilarious. "★★★★★" "The ending is surprisingly deep and leaves the reader wanting even more." -Reedsy Discovery A character-driven romp through a world of magic, fantastic creatures, and subterfuge....Sandor's prose shines brightest when portraying story and character through dialogue, and crafting a beautiful, rich world while effortlessly switching between tense conversations rife with undertone and subtlety and more lighthearted, comical scenes that build character and entertain. - The BookLife Prize Offers many surprises to delight literary fantasy readers looking for far more than an adventure tale....There's simply not enough literary humor in the fantasy genre; but Eva Sandor fills this gap with another adventure story that should be read closely, so as not to miss any of the tongue-in-cheek humor (both overt and subtle) that graces its characters and lines.-Diane Donovan, Bookwatch Read the book and loved it. Though much darker than the first novel, I actually enjoyed it more...There is still the wit and charm in bucket loads, with added emotion, mystery and intrigue. -John Derek, Netgalley It does point firmly into the next book... which I'm now looking forward to :-) -Jim Webster, author of the Tallis Steelyard series The writing is intelligent, but not out of reach. - Advance reader Mike Z. A wonderful collection of characters and the use of language is brilliant. -Advance reader Namoi L. Love, action, drama and best of all...you get lost in Eva's world! This is number 2 in the series and it lives up to all the reviews so far. I loved it so much I couldn't put it down! -Advance reader Rikki M. Comical, magical, witty, and even dark...a fast paced journey leaving you yearning for more each chapter and then the next in the series. Great development of characters with an intense strong female protagonist. -Advance reader Robert A. You don't realize how four different stories turn into one entwined story until you do notice it! The transitions are seamless. -Advance reader Gabriella B.
