The writing feels a little looser, but so far the plotting has yet to disappoint. Even in book - I want to say 6? - he has only a few tricks in his bag and all of the other wizardy types are bigger and scarier. There again, so have most of the previous books in the series and the odds are the next one. (STARBURST) The Hanging Tree is definitely one of the best in the Grant/Aaronovitch pantheon.

This is a tight thriller that is compelling and buckets of fun. Our hero isn't good at magic, but he is good at homework, so he puts in the hours. Ben Aaronovitch is a master of metropolitan magical mayhem and the action is delightful. Anyone can learn the formulae with some practice, but it's really really hard, and managing to do it without a teacher is both difficult and dangerous, seeing as it often results in death by magically induced brain damage.

They are fairly solid police procedurals, set in the modern day but with the premise that magic is real. Just as an addendum for those who have not read the books, or heard about them. I'll try to put this behind spoiler tags.ĭid anyone else pick up on this, or am I on crazy pills? Now, it may be that I skim read the last fifty pages or so, but there is one thing I can't remember having seen, so I am not sure if Aaronovitch missed it, or if Peter Grant hasn't understood this yet. The Hanging Tree is the sixth and latest volume in Aaronovitch’s Peter Grant series, following on from Foxglove Summer. If you haven't read the Peter Grant books, well, what are you waiting for? They are really good.
