An excellent series-starter, full of perhaps a bit more world-building than necessarily interesting plotting - but tis a worthwhile trade-off. There's nothing so satisfying as getting the new year off on the right foot and this was the right choice. It's London, it's fantastical, it's urban-wizardry in the Dresden vein, and it's written in that damn funny British tone. If that's your bag, this is ideal. If not, well, I'm sorry for you.More about it at the newly-rejacketed RB: http://wp.me/pGVzJ-ym
