About this listen
A lord has been assassinated, and only an awkward boy can uncover the mastermind.
Banished from the capital, 10-year-old Zheng Tian joins the Black Lotus Clan. As son of a great lord, he is utterly unprepared for this new life - a fact complicated by his awkwardness. As of yet untrained in the arts of stealth, he is thrust into an investigation into a lord's murder.

The story is fast-paced, vividly described, and has plenty of action. It is exciting and beautifully written.
Tian was a nice addition since his questions helped clarify many of the things that happened in the first book, as well as some of the terminology used. I found it really helpful, and I liked his young and innocent ways.
And last but not least, we are - again - faced with some pretty awesome twists and turns, and the ending left me wanting more! It's a fabulous novella!
A fabulous novella!

Much like that book, the action (while brilliantly written and mind-boggling in execution) is secondary to the mystery and thrills of the court here and, with the addition of several new characters, the story feels all the more broad for it.
Speaking of characters, Tien is brilliant. equal-part Shelock'ian genius and idiotic adolescent I found myself facepalming on several occasions but never to the detriment of the tale.
Once again each character and story point is brought to life wonderfully by Natalie Naudus and, while in the first I found it hard to catch character names from her, this time her pronouncing speed seemed spot on.
Another really good tale, better than the first in my opinion and so it is on to book Three.
A wider reaching sequel.

The story flowed well with some nice twists and advancing the overall ARC, and we got a few more hints at world building with orcs and dwarves mentioned along with the elves.
But the new addition, Tian, was so obnoxiously naive that I found myself grinding my teeth at his foolishness.
The narration was excellent again for the most part, though I think it made Tian seem a little older than he was supposed to be which only served to make his naivety even more confounding.
Another entertaining entry in the series.
