Midnight Riot

I would not not have guessed I would enjoy this book as much as I did based on the book description. The writing is fantastic and the Aaronovitch casts the fantasy characters in a modernized light with the gravity of their history. I found the main character believable. Clever in his own way, but not a genius. He doesn't buy too much into his own stock and his awkwardness with women is a nice change from the stereotypical lead who is confident and comfortable with the opposite sex. I do think this could have been done without sounding so much like a teenager who is hyper aware of the female body. 

All said, this is a fun adventure blending modern London with mythical fantasy.
