#28 A Blight of Blackwings by Kevin Hearne

The second book deals spies and the building of a new city. Only a few new characters come on the scene and there are some interesting discoveries during this book. Everyone finds out what is the seventh kenning and how it will change things. Most of the book is still told in flashbacks with everything being centered in Brynt with Dervan writing down everything the bard says. And even though he has close ties to the leader of his people, he is still surprised by what goes on behind the scenes.
I’ll be interested to see how things wrap in the next book. With all the bard’s storytelling to the refugees, they are catching up to current times so I have to wonder if the next book will have as much daily storytelling to move the plot along.
