About this deal

All with the sinister machinations of a 'power behind the throne' character running the show - and some twists that children will be shocked at and possibly upset by. But now there are strange goings on inside the palace walls – and Alfred’s life is about to change forever.

I suppose we had a taste of this in The Ice Monster, with a Victorian orphan character, but there is no outright lift of an end, and I don't think I laughed or smiled whilst listening. I like that David intersperses real history and mythology into the story including our recent history as ancient history (the story is set in the future) so has some small educational value. I didn't like the Audible version very much, the music used as bookends to chapters was annoying, a little 80s computer-sounding, and I think I'd have preferred to read an illustrated paper copy.And yes, Raj makes a guest appearance though within the plot, it wasn't as much fun to 'spot' him as it usually is. Sorry it was just not for me, I was disappointed that I used some of my months book allowance on this.

I read the book as I had read odd chapters at bedtime with my daughter but couldn’t quite get the story so told her that I would read it when she had finished it. Recommend if you have kids who want an audio book to listen to in the car, this would be one to add along with Archie Wilson.Bakingemas briesmonis ir kārtīgs piedzīvojumu gabals, distopija par nākotnes Londonu, kurā varu pārņēmis ļauns vadonis.
