Dangerous To Know is a book that falls far short of all your expectations. This book is purpotedly about Breed who's a fighter and thief of considerable skill who gets down on his luck and falls into the craziest adventures. And some of that does happen...I guess. Do you see his considerable fighting skills? sure if he's up against puny humans...considerable thieving skills, yeah sure if an "i stole it like a bad ass" speech is what you're looking for.

As for the adventures, well it's the first book and i can't say there were adventures per say but he does spend a fair amount of time bungling things through and getting beat up.
Breed does spend a considerable amount of time describing most of the areas he comes across in considerable detail. Take chapter 12 for example:
"Level with the rim, the sightless eyes of a huge stone face gazed through me to the west. The face was that of a human woman which had been carved on a tall spire. The spire had snapped across the neck but hadn't fallen...

Does it end there? You wish it did.

...The tip of the spire had started to fall to seperate along a jagged fissure but some force held it an impossible angle....(there's a whole bunch of yarns) I dragged my gaze and peered into the depth of the crater. The face was one of four on the pinnacle of a pyramid building that looked like the world had risen around it. The crater was littered with other similar, but smaller structures. The civilisation that had once ...

There's goodness knows how many more lines of this expository nightmare and every chapter is littered with something like this.

There were a couple of continuation errors and the comedic value - which came across like i was actually in some bad version of British dry humour- or even what was supposed to be grim about the book fell flat for me. Although if grim = some form of inventive curse words peppered with characters spicing it up with saying fuck here and there you've got yourself a winner.

Not a great book, i didn't care one hoot for any of the characters and i'll honestly be hard pressed to spend what? £4.99 on the second book.

Sorry Gavin, i really tried to like this book 😘
