Between these cases, Felix always returns to the in-between, the grey fields, every day and every night alone in an endless nothing.
That is until Skrida, Goddess of Death, approaches him with a help her with some... legal troubles. Secure her a fair share of Creation, and she will restore Felix to full life. Fail, and he will be tortured for all eternity.
Now Felix and the team from Lunchers & Co., Legal Firm for the Underdog, must navigate a celestial courtroom with the Goddess of Union presiding and Habeus, the God of Justice, as opposing counsel.
One-click today to Join Felix as he faces the biggest case of his afterlife, with his very soul in the balance.
I received a copy of Corpus in exchanged for an honest review. Here follows my thoughts. I was initially concerned that I might not remember enough from the first book, but I needn’t worry, it was like returning to a chat with a very old friend. AR Turner deftly recapped what happened in the last book, one major point at the end which I had completely forgotten about, which I will not detail here, because spoilers… You follow Felix, a lawyer for the downtrodden, those that no one else will help and those that have their lives in danger. There is a talking dagger, a Parthenon of gods and we must not forget the animated skull in a bird cage. The character building and stories are so likeable that I enjoyed every moment, even those you love to hate! The pacing was relaxed, and you are told a series of stories building up to the major finale. There are many great lines, I only wish I had written some of them down! But I shall leave it to you to discover these. Many I say are delivered with a wit reminiscent of Terry Pratchett. As last time, I enjoyed the case journal notes interspaced between chapters, but this time I believe it flowed more seamlessly, I did not feel like they were irrelevant to the story, but rather much added depth. As last time, there is enough of a teaser to have you eagerly awaiting the next instalment.
This was superb, zoomed through it once I realised how my Kindle works. Cleverly thought through plot moving between different fantasy and supernatural court cases to a satisfying ending. Well done!
