This is not exactly a sequel to Speaks the Nightbird (at least, not by my definition), but it does feature Matthew Corbett as the main character. I actually like this book better than Speaks the Nightbird – the pacing is more my speed, although a lot did happen, and I like that not everything is tied up in a little bow at the end. More books are coming! And I’m still imagining James McAvoy as Corbett – I really can’t go wrong with that.
