Read the first few, then stopped. Always planned on returning. Thanks. *NM* Cuppa Send a noteboard - 03/04/2012 05:09:17 AM
It's more "urban fantasy," than "high," but it's quite good.

Snarky wizard detective! Think two parts Dirty Harry, one part Merlin, one part Spider-man.

You end up with a workaday wizard who solves mysteries, does cool magic stuff, and makes jokes to his enemies to piss them off.

Good times.
