The Spirit Rebellion (Legend of Eli Monpress, #2)

by Rachel Aaron

Eli Monpress is brilliant. He's incorrigible. And he's a thief.

He's also still at large, which drives Miranda Lyonette crazy. While she's been kicked out of the Spirit Court, Eli's had plenty of time to plan his next adventure. But now the tables have turned, because Miranda has a new job -- and an opportunity to capture a certain thief.

Things are about to get exciting for Eli. He's picked a winner for his newest heist. His target: the Duke of Gaol's famous "thief-proof" citadel. Eli knows Gaol is a trap, but what's life without challenges? Except the Duke is one of the wealthiest men in the world, a wizard who rules his duchy with an iron fist, and an obsessive perfectionist with only one hobby: Eli.

It seems that everyone is hunting for Eli Monpress.

Another Rachel Aaron book that I really enjoyed. I'm starting to really like Miranda too.

This follows on from the first book, Eli has got a reward from his last escapade and goes to get a new cloak to hide Nico's burgeoning Demonseed, the payment is a sword that is only easily available in the Duke of Goal's treasury. The Duke of Goal is determined to catch Eli, and he rules his duchy with a rod of iron.

There are moments when it seems to be a little studdery but overall it just dragged me through and I really enjoyed it, another good read, and I need the next one, it took me a while to get around to reading this, I was partially afraid that it was going to suffer from being book 2 in a series, but no, it was as much fun as the first one.
