I thought this book was pretty good! Decently written, interesting characters, well plotted. I am interested in reading further in this series. The main character solves his problems through cleverness, instead of being more powerful than anyone else.

It is reminiscent of The Dresden Files, of course, but in a good way. And, while the world is similar, there are some new and interesting things about this world that make me want to read further with these characters, and see where the overall story goes.

I would recommend it for anyone waiting for the next Dresden Files book to come out.
