I really enjoyed this series that takes place in the Iron Druid world. The book moves along at a nice pack and the characters were well rounded. Buck Foi kept me constantly laughing. I greatly appreciated having the index in the front to help with the pronunciation of the Scottish words. I can't wait to buy the audiobook version.
Anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.
ARC from netgalley.

I picked up this book initially because the cover got my eye, then I read the blurb on the back and had to read it. I really enjoyed the story as well as the whole idea of sigils and how they work. I also liked the variety of fae folk that were integrated into the story! The humor was definitely a man’s humor but I found it hilarious and it made me enjoy the book even more. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This book grew on me. I didn't like it to start with but by the end quite enjoyed it. I'm not sure why we had to have the language explanation at the front about how the book was using Scottish then use Elevator instead of lift etc Bit weird that, but still worth reading and I will get book 2.

This was the first book I've read from this author and I am happy to say I will be counting the series. A new type of magic I've yet to see and creatures from fairy tales in the modern world. Curses, fighting, whiskey, Gin, and raisin scones all lead to this amazing story.

I enjoy Kevin Heaven’s writings. I loved the Iron Druid series, so when I heard that something was coming in that universe, i was ready and hopeful.
This is a spectacular expansion of his universe that the Iron Druid lives in.
Some of the best bits were little things, like a recognition of pronouns and when being introduced asking what pronouns to use or a dig at pedantic ‘clip’ vs ‘magazine’ gun owners, and tons of other funny little moments weaved amongst a great story set in Scotland.
Looking forward to more of them
