By far my favorite fantasy novel of the year... The world's magic
system is something fantasy lovers will appreciate. Plus, all the
nerdy book references will have book geeks squeeing with
delight!

I picked up the book meaning to read a few pages. My first thought
was, ‘This is a cool concept.’ The second thing I thought was,
‘This is really, really clever.’ The third thing I thought was, ‘I
should have gone to sleep three hours ago.

and entertain urban fantasy fans... Isaac is sure to be an instant
fan favorite, and the secondary characters are vivid and
multidimensional.
