Oh yeah, that's the ticket.

This is urban fantasy for men.

Picture Harry Dresden as a foul mouthed, ornery, SHORT, wizard with very specific powers...and those powers aren't really always that useful. A teenager who likes to get into a fight almost as much as he likes sex. Don't get me wrong, there are no graphic sex acts in this book - plenty of cursing, but no sex.

There is also a new system of magic and a new type of 'vampire'. Even the weres are different, although they don't make an appearance.

Best of all...there is no crushing ongoing war against the forces of darkness. Vampires may play little political games but they leave Mancers out of it and mostly it is simply benign guidance with infighting. The real foe is revealed very late in the book.

I laughed several times. He quoted Monty Python's 'Holy Grail' during a fight!!

Minor proofreading flaws - 'rode' not 'road'; that sort of thing. I actually give it more than 4 stars, but not quite 5.

I am going to buy the next in the series right now. Best compliment I know.

So much wrong it becomes right

Political correctness burns knowing these books exist. Just when you think he can't get any worse...he goes and toooootally defiles everything.

The bit where Vicky is threatening to do pelvic thrusts while screaming 'Vagina!' To make him go away. So funny I almost cried.

I thought the vagina thrusting bit was bad

Epic level stuff. I laughed so many times. So wrong, Family Guy is G-rated by comparison.

If you have been reading and enjoying this series, DON'T STOP NOW!!!

Jim Butcher level writing, with an obscene twist.

I’ve missed you

T-bone, Eva, and a few bit players square off against Isabel. I love how King Henry isn’t on-screen, but he lives in everyone’s heads enough that he is still there.

Cliff hanger of a sort at the end. Kind of ‘oh, crap’ level stuff. Well, more ‘oh, crap, we are all gonna die screaming’.

I can’t wait for the next full novel.

This isn’t really a standalone short story. It’s been long enough since book 6 that I felt I had to go back and re-read the ending.… (más)
