Commentary During Books A Plunder of Souls (Thieftaker Chronicles #3)
Boston, 1769: Ethan Kaille, a Boston thieftaker who uses his conjuring to catch criminals, has snared villans and defeated magic that would have daunted a lesser man. What starts out as a mysterious phenomenon that has local ministers confused becomes something far more serious.A ruthless, extremely powerful conjurer seeks to wake the souls of the dead to wreak a terrible revenge on all who oppose him. Kaille's minister friends have been helpless to stop crimes against their church. Graves have been desecrated in a bizarre, ritualistic way. Equally disturbing are reports of recently deceased citizens of Boston reappearing as grotesquely disfigured shades, seemingly having been disturbed from their eternal rest, and now frightening those who had been nearest to them in life. But most personally troubling to Kaille is a terrible waning of his ability to conjure. He knows all these are related…but how?
When Ethan discovers the source of this trouble, he realizes that his conjure powers and those of his friends will not be enough to stop a madman from becoming all-powerful. But somehow, using his wits, his powers, and every other resource he can muster, Ethan must thwart the monster's terrible plan and restore the restless souls of the dead to the peace of the grave. Let the battle for souls begin in A Plunder of Souls, the third, stand-alone novel in Jackson's acclaimed Thieftaker series.

Full review to come...Overview of my thoughts at the moment:-For the entire first quarter (perhaps longer) of the story, Ethan scrambling around trying to find leads was like watching Clayton from Tarzan strangling himself (I still kinda like him, but I'm wondering why he hasn't changed, like, anything about the way he investigates, seeing as it typically ends with him beaten to a near-pulp)-As with the last book, the "clues" that Ethan was following seemed a bit contrived; only this time EthanI found this book in a little used book store in Florida. At the time, I had no idea it was the second in the series. The author does a good job explaining events and previous events so organically I didnt realize they werent memories but call backs to the book before. I got hooked on this series and finished the rest of them. I love the idea of using magic to edit historical events! Spectacularly done with a very unique style of magic!
Originally published at Reading RealityToday is Presidents Day, so I went searching through the towering TBR pile to find something set in the Revolutionary period. (Yes, I know that Presidents Day celebrates both Washington and Lincoln, but Im still listening to the utterly marvelous Grant by Ron Chernow, and therefore have all the Civil War I can handle at the moment.)Which brought me back to the Thieftaker Chronicles and A Plunder of Souls. I read Thieftaker last year for this holiday, and
Still enjoying this historical/mystery/fantasy series. I really liked the handicap the main character was faced with this book: his magic is no longer working reliably and his enemy knows it. Lots of tense stand0ffs with rising stakes.
One of the things I love about DragonCon, the annual convention in Atlanta, is discovering wonderful new books and authors with whom I'd not been familiar. In 2012 my "discovery" was D.B. Jackson, who had just published Thieftaker, the first novel in this series. I fell in love with the novel and have eagerly awaited each book in this series. A Plunder of Souls did not disappoint! I've come to love the world Jackson has created, a world based in the historical pre-revolutionary Boston, but with
It is interesting that despite the fact that I am a paranormal fan, the witchery aspect of this series is low on the list of what I enjoy the most. I love the setting, the characters, the history and the potential. Either a bit more history or more introspection would serve me well and greatly increase my engagement with this series.The city of Boston is a character of its own. She is on the verge of Revolution and I felt this aspect was most gorgeously drawn in the first installment as mobs and
Another intriguing offering from this rather brilliant author.The historical events are real and the magic is chilling. The addition of a seriously unhinged, powerful character bent on vengeance makes for a compelling read, set in a late 1700's Boston limping in an unprecedented heatwave and another outbreak of smallpox.
