– Luke Arnold – 10.05.22
I liked this magical noir novel – full of affectionate homage to the well worn tropes of ‘rough around the edges but with a heart of gold’ grumbling, alcoholic, down on his luck but sticking up for the little guy, private detective, with the twist being that his clientele are strictly non-human. Sunder City exists in a world rocked by the recent war between humans and magical creatures, and since the magical creatures have all lost their magic, they are struggling to survive.
It is darkly humorous, and I am looking forward to reading more in the series, but I’m waiting until they go down in price a bit.
