This book was 351 pages of fast paced, crime-solving, down-on-his-luck, kick-ass wizardry, and I'm his next biggest fan. Every character was dripping with nuance, every scene had a purpose, every action seemed foreshadowed, every twist felt genuine, every decision felt natural, and even the things we didn't see coming felt believable and real.

Even something that “could” feel like dues ex machine felt so natural and believable I couldn't help but sit in awe. I had a joyous sense of magic like I did when I first read Harry Potter, watched Little Witch Academia (the short film not the show), and I first saw Merlin. Every description of the Nevernever, demons, vampires, faeries, etc., get real, and the world felt so grand and magical and wonderful that I just couldn't stop reading.

It was such a joy to follow Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden (conjure by it at your own risk), that I can't wait until Amazon sends the second book over (still really angry about that one). Pick up this book, you won't regret it.
