Summary
Sometimes you look in the mirror...sometimes it looks back.
Those who belong to the secret society called The Oversight know many things. They know cold iron will hold back the beasts in the darkness. They know it is dangerous to stand between two mirrors. And they know that despite their dwindling numbers, it remains their duty to protect humanity from the predations of the supernatural. And vice versa.
But two of the society's strongest members, Mr. Sharp and Sara Falk, are trapped in the world between the mirrors, looking for each other, searching for a way back home. What they discover there will have ominous consequences both for The Oversight and the world it protects - effects that will make them question everything they thought they knew.
The dark waters rise. The candle is guttering. But the light still remains. For now....

Gripping with some great plot lines
Draws you in and make you invest in the characters in the story. Just as all good book it takes you on an emotional roller coaster that will have you binge listening to the very last sentence. An excellent second book quality and plot line quality is still excellent, exciting and addictive- I am however disappointed that the third book is not available Now. It is one of two in the series that make you feel that anything else you read will just not be able to live up to , so for me as I await the next instalment with relish and impatience

Another Fine Adventure
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to hear the next installment. Great book with an intriguing and different storyline. Charlie Fletcher is perfect reading his book.

not as good as the first
the first book in this series was better. I did enjoy this though but it did feel like it was more of a "joining" story and you definitely need to read the first, and probably the third, to get the most out of it.

took me awhile to get used to the narration but it
people said that Charlie Fletcher was not a good narrator, however, after listening to this book they are clearly wrong . yes it is jarring to hear a very different narrator between books especially since I listened to them so close together but by the end of the book I really was swept up by Mr Fletcher's narration and thoroughly enjoyed this book

Brilliant
I really enjoyed this book and much preferred the narration by Charlie Fletcher.
The second book in a trilogy (?), a gothic, somewhat dystopian, fantasy set in Victorian London.
The author brings the characters to life and contains subtle and not so subtle turns as the tale continues.
Can't wait for the third book.

Change of narrator is a mistake
I think Charlie Fletcher is exceptionally talented, but like almost every other review, he's not a narrator. Simon Peebles was amazing. AMAZING. In this medium the narrator is everything and can make or break a story - they can render a great story even better and a terrible story tolerable. I'd advise a re-recording. I'm going to read this one on my kindle because his writing is top notch!

Good story ...
... Spoiled by poor production: the audio editor hasn't erased all the retakes, which can be very jarring.

Great story and performance
If you could sum up The Paradox in three words, what would they be?
Tense, gripping, enjoyable
What did you like best about this story?
Entertaining and gripping from start to finish. Better pacing than the first book.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The part on the Thames.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, too much tension (which is a good thing). Definitely needed breaks in between exciting parts.
Any additional comments?
A lot of other reviews commented negatively on the performance of the author who is reading. While the performance is different to the oversight and maybe just not quite as good, I was very pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed it a lot. I think the change in narration is jarring if you are listening back to back after the first book but objectively the performance is good and very enjoyable.
