Urban Fantasy done right.

Urban fantasy is my favourite genre, and this novel really exemplifies the genre. There’s a mix of mystery, action, hope, and snarky humour. I’m definitely reading the rest of the series.

As much as I enjoyed the book, I didn’t like the protagonist much. I don’t like how Conor dumped his friendship and asked Danelle the one thing he shouldn’t ask her at the end. It shows how flawed and selfish he can be. I think Conor is also trying to get the audience to pity him. He is dying of cancer, barely eats, barely has any energy, and yet he’s capable of extraordinary physical feats. In fact, he hardly has any symptoms, though we’re constantly reminded of his poor health. I wonder if perhaps he’s an unreliable narrator, telling us only what he wants us to know.

Speaking of narrators. I’m not a huge fan of male narrators, but i felt the narrator really did a good job with the characters.
