“Another fun little heist, this improves on the first book by being fluffier and requiring a lot less exposition. It's basically a supernatural Ocean's Eleven, definitely recommend.”

“Gideon Stable book 2
Keywords: supernatural, powers/gifts, magical heists, morally grey characters, urban fantasy
In Short: A good urban fantasy tale full of action and twists in a world where no one can be trusted.
Full review:
A matter of death and life is Simon R Greens second book in the Gideon Stable series and just like the first book this story is action packed, heart in your chest, roller coaster ride full of characters old and new that at the end you wont want to say goodbye to but hopefully depending where Simon goes with the big twist we are told in this installment, we will be seeing these faces again in book three, what song the sirens sang. I’m personally hoping a very special character is brought back in as I would like to know more about them but his fate is definitely up in the air.
Like before in book one, the best things you can steal, we are sent on a very dangerous magical heist where no matter who your friends are it seems there is no-one you can trust.
We follow Gideon as he gathers the crew back together along with a few new faces that does appear are likely to make more and stringer character development in further books. Despite the twists and action in this book, the general vibe felt a little flatter then book one, I feel this effect was mainly due to the characters doing unexpected actions and responses without true explanation for that sudden turn of events and this caused you to be brought out of the flow of the story and making it seem less real and lifelike, I know that the reason for this is because Simon is trying to show that the morally grey characters are trying to be more good but it felt flat, a few more explanations on their reasons for their behavior may have made this feel just as real as the first book.
Despite this flaw it is an enjoyable to see what trouble the crew gets up to and to learn of the new path sudden placed in front of Gideon and Annie anybody, I am very curious to see which direction Simon takes this plot line as there is many ways this situation can be played.
If you want a fast, fun, die hard style urban fantasy full of grey characters trying to get with their powers and the rest of the supernatural world, then this is the series for you and Id would recommend these fun urban fantasy volumes.”

“Gideon Sable is back and better than ever !
I just love this magical world. This book is magical realism at its best such a cosy fun read I can't wait for the next one in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley, Severn House and Simon R Green for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.”
