In spite of Mr. Butcher's enthusiasm for this new series of his, I am disappointed. Applying my rule of 100 pages to capture my interest, it would have failed. Because it was Mr. Butcher, I am struggling through it. It is not nearly as engaging as the Wizard PI series, lacking the cheesy but fun dry wit that I enjoyed from Harry.

The story is well written as one would expect of Mr. Butcher's well-proven skills, but the story itself never grabbed my attention. Of course, fantasy has rarely been of interest to me. So I am disappointed and moving on to other writers. Sorry Mr. Butcher, I really enjoyed your Wizard PI series, but this new story disappointed me.
