It was so great to re-enter the world of the Iron Druid with brand new characters, magic, humour, and adventures! Hearne's charm and wit is on full display in the characters of Al, Buck, and Nadia. The story is interesting and led to some wild action scenes.

Most of this story focused on introducing the characters. Buck made me laugh constantly, given his crass humour and pranks. Nadia is an absolute queen and I loved watching her dominate in fights. But the big sell is Al. He is a unique lead character with a tragic backstory. I'm totally charmed by him and want to know more about his curse and family life.

The book is quick and fun and packed with unique magic I would love to see more of. Al, Nadia, and Buck made me smile, so anyone looking for a humorous urban fantasy story with a unique main character and quirky side characters. This is the one for you!
