This book was a riot. I dug this wonky story. Check it out, this is a legit, noir story. All of the boxes are checked and this could have been a Raymond Chandler or James Ellroy novel. Full-disclosure, I'm a noir snob. The great thing about this story is it brings a classic noir feel without being overly cliché. And then, in a stroke of genius, the protagonist is a wizard, with a capital “w”.

Think of all the beats you need in a great noir story, inject magical mischief, and you have a recipe for a 100% original story.

I can't recommend this highly enough and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
