Finn Gramaraye was framed for the crime of dark necromancy at the age of 15, and exiled to the Other Realm for twenty five years. But now that he's free, someone--probably the same someone--is trying to get him sent back. Finn has only a few days to discover who is so desperate to keep him out of the mortal world, and find evidence to prove it to the Arcane Enforcers. They are going to be very hard to convince, since he's already been convicted of trying to kill someone with dark magic. But Finn has his family: His brother Mort who is running the family necrotorium business now, his brother Pete who believes he's a werewolf, though he is not, and his sister Samantha who is, unfortunately, allergic to magic. And he's got Zeke, a fellow exile and former enforcer, who doesn't really believe in Finn's innocence but is willing to follow along in hopes of getting his old job back.… (más)

My novel is an uncorrected advance reading copy, so be aware some of the novel may have changed by the time it was published.

Finn Fancy Necromancy was a great fantasy read that kept me interested for most of the book! I did seem to think it was 100 pages to long, since I got bored by page 300, but it was still a good read!

Finn Gramaraye is a necromancer who was framed for dark necromancy when he was fifteen. Now he is out of the Other Realm jail and is free, but it's twenty-five years later. Despite all this time passing, someone is still trying to frame him, and even send him back!

His family is quite strange, since his brother Mort runs the family business, his brother Pete thinks he's a werewolf, his sister is allergic to magic, and now he's met some new friends like a fellow exiled man, and two women he might have had crushes on in the past. Finn still has his fifteen year old memories, but nothing of what has changed since. This adds to a lot of the drama!

The group have to try to figure out who is framing Finn and the family, and trying to hurt everyone.

The novel starts out very slowly, and it took about 100 pages for me to get into the story. Once I got through the boring retelling of everything that happened to Finn's family when he was gone, and the boring stories about the past, I got attached to the story. After about two hundred pages of good action, drama and a pinch of romance, the story becomes repetitive and boring. Rehearing Finn having a crush on someone, and the retelling of the past yet again, I felt like some of the novel could have been deleted to make it a very addicting and fast read.

The plot itself is well planned, and the character development was great! I liked how Finn matured over the novel from a fifteen year old to an adult. I also enjoyed the plot twists and whacky characters!

Overall, I felt like the novel retold aspects of the story to much. I could have lived without the retelling of the past over and over.

Four out of five stars!

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. ( )

It took me a while to get into the story but when I did I was hooked. A murder mystery in a very cool low fantasy setting, with an incredibly likeable main character and some very funny lines, as well as some very cool world building. I'm actually really into the way this story went and want to read more of the trilogy now!

Some parts I predicted - Grayson being involved, Grayson being Orion's father, Heather being part of it all and even Dawn being who Finn chooses. Some parts I also saw coming we're Pete actually becoming a waer by the end. But that didn't detract from this being an enjoyable read. Do recommend for fantasy fans!! ( )

Does anyone else think it's weird that so many books with a necromancer hero are humorous? I mean, it's odd, right?

Anyway, chalk this one up in the humorous column. Love that it's set in Port Townsend, love that the main character is stuck in the 80s mentally, love that even though this story is JUST REALLY FREAKIN' WEIRD, I still wanted to read it and follow all its twisty, turny, corny goodness. Well played, Henderson, well played. ( )

A different kind of urban fantasy for me, but I liked it.

Finn was framed for dark magic when he was 15 and exiled to the Fae world, where they fed off his memories for 25 years. When he's finally released, an attack during the 'exchange' (a changing was using his body during his sentence) left him with his body back but without the usual memory transfer, leaving him with no idea what's happened in the world for the last 25 years.

This allows the story to occasionally wallow in cheesy 80's references, and his fellow exile Zeke to look like what sounds like a Nordic Mr. T. If you're a child of the 80's or a fan of pop culture, it definitely makes the story chuckle-worthy.

The plot revolves around Finn trying to clear his name and figure out who didn't want him released from exile. The answer was both transparently obvious from the start and a surprise; I missed enough clues along the way that I didn't see the twist coming.

I must be getting old, because I found myself skimming a lot of the action scenes, but I did thoroughly enjoy the book. It's funny and well written and I cared about what was going to happen to the characters.

It's the start of a series, and I'll happily read book #2, but I'm not champing at the bit to rush out to buy it. I'll come across it eventually and snap it up when I do. ( )
