As usual, links and excerpts behind the cut:
2) S. Krishna liked it with caveats. “While I did enjoy it and think it has a lot of potential, it doesn’t quite live up to the promise of the books it has been compared to.”
3) My first one-star review! It’s from J.S. Willis, who posted it on the Amazon.ca site. “I have to take issue, because in almost every other “urban fantasy” I have read that involves magic or the supernatural, ideas that are specific to the world the author created are EXPLAINED so I have a gentle grasp of the idea. This is not done.”
I have to admit: Three-star “meh” reviews make me uncomfortable and resolve to try harder, but a one-star like this one–where the reader hated everything–makes me laugh.
4) But here’s a palate-cleanser from the Amazon.co.uk site: N. Brett recommends it. “I picked this up for a quick read and enjoyed it far more then I thought I would, partly because it chooses not to lay everything in front of you and become stock fare for these kind of books. It has a real pace about it, a refreshing approach and cast and let’s not forget that vein of menace that creeps through much of the book. Recommended.“
