This was a re-read for me, but my first read was an audio book, and this time I read it on my Kindle. And while I enjoyed it, I found some of the dialog that worked well for me in an audio presentation, worked less well in the written form. It just felt a bit stilted.

Beyond that, I quite enjoyed this return to a very different Oxford and the North. And I'm not sure how much my memory of this book is tainted by having read the full series (in Audible format). Several characters have bigger roles later in the series, and Lee Scorsby in particular seems a less well thought out character here.

I'll be curious to hear how folks felt about the book who are reading it for the first time.
