Traitor in the Ice (Daniel Pursglove #2)
by
by
For me, the success of The Drowned City was due to 3 main things:
1) the intensity of the atmosphere- the detailed description and incredible sense of place
2) the clever and compelling plot
3) the fascinating character of Daniel Pursglove, reluctant investigator for the crown.
Two of those threads were evident again in this novel, but the snail pace of the plot meant that I kept putting the book down and having to talk myself into picking it up again. The potential tension was smoothed utterly flat by the lack of urgency. As a reflection of a moment in time, it was interesting, but ultimately lacking in vitality. I'm not sure I'll continue despite my interest in the main character.
