Circle of Stone

Alastair Stone Chronicles, Book 19

By: R. L. King

Narrated by: Will M. Watt

The circle widens.

For Alastair Stone, problems rarely come one at a time. He’s busy helping an old friend with a case of blackmail, when he’s contacted about a mysterious wave of minor crimes in the Oakland area - one that might involve magic. He asks Verity to look into it.

When tragedy strikes, and the petty crime spree leads to a friend's disastrous near-death, Stone hurries home to investigate the situation himself. What he finds suggests terrifying new connections to a problem he thought he’d already dealt with.

As the situation escalates and puts more innocent people in harm’s way, Stone, Verity, and Jason will have to rely on each other - and a growing collection of allies, both old and new - to track down a dangerously unstable enemy before he snaps.

And as if all of that weren’t bad enough, a powerful, shadowy figure resurfaces with an offer Stone might not be able to refuse.

She just never lets you down.

This world is getting so rich and wide, the major rivers of the world are jealous. I love how every edition pushes the edges of the world out just a little further AND a little deeper. The characters all grow and learn and screw up and learn from that too. The magic system is so well conceived, and the little idiosyncrasies of the characters are making this series a comfort read for me now. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who loves and longs for long, intricate urban fantasy series.

Another great adventure

To be fair, I love the series, and I could listen to Will M. Watt read a grocery list - The fact that he is narrating another exciting Alastair Stone adventure makes it that much better. I love watching as the series progresses and the stakes get higher, and I can't wait to see where they go next!

i don’t like Kyla!!!

i Get that Verity should be able to see who she wants, but i kinda feel like she’s keeping both Alistair and Kyla on strings. idk, maybe it’s just me being some type of old-fashioned, but does she really need to date two ppl at the same time? she’s not a teenager anymore. that said, Stone gives her the time she needs to make her own decisions and never speaks badly of Kyla. she, on the other hand, never misses an opportunity to tell anyone who will listen how bad he is for Verity. and those Harpies!! plzzzz … i don’t like any of Them, either …

Loved it

Great story as usual. Lots of magic, character development, and some tense situations. Narration is great.

PHENOMENAL!

Story is great as usual and the narration by Watt is incredible with each character having a unique voice.
