About this listen
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes book two of an “action-packed, enchantingly fun” (Booklist) spin-off series, as an eccentric master of rare magic solves a supernatural mystery Down Under!
There’s only one Al MacBharrais: Though other Scotsmen may have dramatic mustaches and a taste for fancy cocktails, Al also has a unique talent. He’s a master of ink and sigil magic. In his gifted hands, paper and pen can work wondrous spells.
But Al isn’t quite alone: He is part of a global network of sigil agents who use their powers to protect the world from mischievous gods and strange monsters. So when a fellow agent disappears under sinister circumstances in Australia, Al leaves behind the cozy pubs and cafes of Glasgow and travels to the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria to solve the mystery.
The trail to his colleague begins to pile up with bodies at alarming speed, so Al is grateful his friends have come to help - especially Nadia, his accountant who moonlights as a pit fighter. Together with a whisky-loving hobgoblin known as Buck Foi and the ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan, along with his dogs, Oberon and Starbuck, Al and Nadia will face down the wildest wonders Australia - and the supernatural world - can throw at them, and confront a legendary monster not seen in centuries.

Story
Elena Michaels is the world’s only female werewolf. And she’s tired of it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence—but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

Story
A plucky farm boy will find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower. First there's the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy's untimely death...and also very fine cheese. Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, and the Dread Necromancer Steve....

Enjoyable as always
I enjoy Kevin Hearn's storytelling and the narration by Luke Daniels is mostly good but he should stay away from accents. As a Canadian, I'm not entirely certain where Gladys-Who-Has-Seen-Some-Shite is supposed to be from. I'm guessing Minnesota.
I'm roughly familiar with Australian accents and those come across as pretty strange to me as well. Perhaps an Australian person can respond with if that accent is performed as oddly as I think it is as well.
Unpopular opinion - I don't like the voice for Oberon, as it makes him sound like a cartoon character. I read the Iron Druid books and Oberon did not sound like scooby doo in my head. :D

Disappointing sequel
Like many movie sequels the anticipation of this book far outweighed the gratification. I love the Iron Druid Chronicles and was thrilled when Kevin published Ink and Sigil as a continuation of the story. It was a little rougher in speech and theme but still a lot of fun. I don’t know what happen to middle of this book, I was beginning to think it should have been an anthology of short stories. I understand the stories were told to help the listener and the characters relate to the underlying situation but they got carried away and I began to forget what the story was about. When things got back on track I got wrapped up in the action and resumed my interest in the story. Also I was disappointed that Atticus/Connor didn’t get a larger roll but understand that this wasn’t a story about him.
