Jim helps a magician, Mackinnon, escape from some men who are chasing him. Fred and Jim are still working at the photography store, but they are also private detectives. Most of the main characters from the previous book are back, and they have become even more entangled in each other’s lives. This book is set 6 years after the end of The Ruby in the Smoke. I think if I had to sum up this book it would be the YA equivalent of the 2 nd and 3 rd books of the Millennium Trilogy ( The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series). However, I was so wrong, and this book was just so much better. I liked the first book, and thought that this book would be rather similar, which is what I had wanted. I picked this up almost immediately after I finished The Ruby in the Smoke, the first book of the series. Sometimes you pick up a book and you are not prepared for how amazing it is going to be or the emotional roller coaster it will put you through. The Shadow in the North by Phillip Pullman “ This was what love ought to be like: playful and passionate and teasing, and dangerous, too, with sharp intelligence in it.”
