Explanation Toward Books The Midnight Mayor (Matthew Swift #2)
It's said that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, then the Tower will crumble and the kingdom will fall. Resurrected sorcerer Matthew Swift is about to discover that this isn't so far from the truth...One by one, the protective magical wards that guard the city are falling: the London Wall defiled with cryptic graffiti, the ravens found dead at the Tower, the London Stone destroyed. This is not good news. This array of supernatural defenses - a mix of international tourist attractions and forgotten urban legends - formed a formidable magical shield, one that could protect London from the greatest threat it has ever known. But what could be so dangerous as to threaten an entire city?
Against his better judgment, Matthew Swift is about to find out. And if he's lucky, he might just live long enough to do something about it...

A solid urban fantasy read.The second installment of the Matthew Swift series, The Midnight Mayor continues to follow recently reincarnated Matthew Swift and the co-inhabitants of his body, the electric angels. Once again, Matthew regains consciousness near a public phone, lying in the ground in the dark and the rain; cold, burned, and bloody. As he tries to orient himself, hooded faceless spectres start to stalk him. He manages to escape after some clever displays of sorcery and goes to findI really enjoyed A Madness of Angels, the first book in this series which introduced resurrected sorcerer Matthew Swift and the blue electric angels, but I think I liked this one even better. Maybe it's because I'm felling more familiar with Matthew's madness and his character which develops a whole lot further in this episode. Maybe it's because the blue electric angels show what they and Matthew can really do when given unlimited power in one stunning scene from the Underground. Or maybe it's
Matthew Swift has died and been resurrected once before, and he would very much like to stay alive for good this time, thank you very much. It's too bad someone has other plans. The ravens at the Tower of London are dead, the London Wall has been defiled, and the London Stone has been broken. The Midnight Mayor has been found dead of thousands upon thousands of small slices to the skin, with clothing and even fingernails somehow untouched. With the protective wards of the city down and the

Wow, just wow! I loved everything about this book. Matthew Swift has to be one of the best characters ever invented and I still say he must be Harry Dresden's long lost cousin or even his twin brother separated at birth. The descriptions of London are magnificent and actually make me homesick which is amazing since England has not been my home for many years now. The pace of the story is relentless and it is very hard to put the book down at any point. There is one scene in which Matthew and the
Life is magic.I read the first book in this trilogy, "A Madness of Angels", about three years ago. I was very impressed by the story, the characters, and the magic that exists just as a by-product of the heart of the city and it's inhabitants. I was drawn into the urban fantasy and daydreamed about it's magic and ideas long after I finished the book. Three years later, I finally decided to continue the adventure, and revisit the mystical sounds, sights, and smells of London. The Midnight Mayor
Matthew Swift died choking on his own blood.Years later, he came back.But he didn't come back alone.His struggle to understand his death, and the other magic users' struggle to come to terms with his new dual identity of blue electric angels and dead man, formed the basis for A Madness of Angels. After the cataclysmic events of the last few years, Swift deserves a nice long break--but alas, he's the last sorcerer left in London, and doom has come upon his city. The supernatural defenses of
