Publisher's Summary
Alex Verus has a magic shop in Camden, London, and an uncanny ability to see the future. But suddenly everyone can see Alex's future. Because the Mage's Council of Great Britain just named him a traitor and ordered his death in seven days' time, and there's no way anyone can get out of that.
Alex's friends - Luna and the other apprentices he's taken in - are tainted by association. They'll be marked for death, too, when the ruling comes into play, and Alex becomes locked in a race against time to save them. But with only seven days to work with, will he have time left over save his own skin?

Best book in the series so far!
This is hands down the best book in the Alex Verus series so far, and the ending just makes me long for my next monthly credit so I can hear what happens next. The suspence in this book is incredible!

Good series but starting to get stuck
I've been enjoying this series but it's starting to get stuck. The entire of this book was just set up for the next one, and in both this book and the last one the hero took a long time to achieve nothing. The list of bad guys continues to grow as no-one is ever defeated which means unfortunately the same people turn up over and over again which gets boring. If the series continues like this I'll have to give it up.

Now what will happen?
What made the experience of listening to Burned the most enjoyable?
This is an author who involves himself deeply in his characters. That means that the story flows well and, okay, has some unexpected twists. All in all, this is a story of survival and friendship. I adore the characters, their interaction and the way the story develops. In fact, I was hooked from the first book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Seriously? It's a toss up between Alex and Anne. I love Alex's "dangerous coward" view of life and the curiosity of diviners. On the other hand, Anne is prepared to take serious risks to save those she cares about.
What does Gildart Jackson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
As I haven't read any of the books, I can't comment on that bit. Narration is excellent throughout all the books. A book heard brings the characters to life in a way that merely reading a book can't.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Several but one specifically. Towards the end, Alex touches Anne's face. No more, it would include spoilers.
Any additional comments?
Give us the next one !!!

This is Dark - in so many ways!
So many surprises, so many battles/fights and dodging tactics! And Doom!
This is a change of pace! Be warned - you will need to get the next one - I’m off to get it now!

What can I say...
The twists and turns of this book, the amazing skill of Jacka to make you feel several emotions in a heartbeat. This ia what makes this a book you can not put down. The reading by Jackson was first class and built a truly electric atmosphere. I've already downloaded the next one and will start listening once this review is finished. Another brilliant book in an awesome series.

What a really good series
Great series of books but I thought the final to this one was a bit flat.
Another one on the way?

Burned indeed!
Another compelling A Verus story with lots of character development in this one - lots of change for everyone to deal with and not as sweet an ending as usual for our hero and his friends, which really just leaves us wanting more! Good book - great series - onto 'Bound'!

consistently engaging
once drawn into Alex Verus's world, and become attached to its characters, engaged by their growth, and Alex's journey, I found the series compelling. it isn't a literary epic, but it is satisfying and intriguing, and Burned fulfilled my expectations well enough that i will be proceeding directly to purchase Bound.
