I have read a few of the Matthew Swift Midnight Mayor novels, which I like although I find the writing style a little bit busy and tense, so I thought I would give this spin off series a try and I’m glad I did.
It is a bit more gentle and humorous than the Midnight Mayor books, with fun characters and more to my taste. There was still action, and Matthew swift made several appearances, but the main protagonist is Sharon Li, who discovers she is a Shaman when she suddenly becomes aware of everything and everybody in the city of London. She is helped in discovering her new abilities by a grumpy troll mentor and she becomes the leader of a self help group for random troubled magicals who introduce more humour and fun group dynamics into this urban fantasy tale.
