A Review of the Second Entry of the new Hundred Halls series.

Ebook cover of Ruthless, Book2 of Coterie of Mages

 “Family can be confusing.” Orion Dreadmarsh, Ruthless.

So true. Iona, Zuri, Justine and Orion are in their second year in Coterie, and not taking bets on survival. The Second Year Games come with the second year, and Head Patron Pythia Silverthorne brought what might as well have been an engraved invitation.
The prize, will it mean as much if they’re dead?

Ruthless is the second book in Thomas K Carpenter's Coterie of Mages series, of the hundred Halls universe. A wonderful continuation to Monstrous, and an excellent lead-in to the rest of the series. I enjoyed this installment and look forward to the other upcoming stories. Five stars and recommended heartily to any reader who’s enjoyed the Hundred Halls series so far, or who likes urban fantasy in their face.

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review, which you are now reading. I enjoyed it sufficiently to participate in the Kickstarter for the series.

I read it using Apple Books app on my MacBook Air.
This review (or an essentially similar one) will also be posted on the appropriate Shopify, Goodreads and Amazon pages.

I’m certain that the book is available anywhere you might wish.
Enjoy!

A Review of the new Hundred Halls series starter entry.

Monstrous bodes well for the Coterie of Mages series.

 

Cover of Monstrous ebook

Rarely have three misfits succeeded so well as Justine, Zuri and Iona in an altogether hostile environment.
I enjoyed this first of the series, and look forward to reading the others. If you have enjoyed Mr. Carpenter’s other work in the Hundred Halls series, I’m confident that you will find in Monstrous a worthy follow-on, and I heartily recommend it as soon as you’re able to get your copy.

I acquired Monstrous as an ARC in exchange for an honest review, which you now read.  I enjoyed it enough to back the Kickstarter for the series.
