Fabulous. Just... fabulous.

From its first pages, we are plunged headlong into endless action, interspersed with dense descriptions of urban London. This is truly Urban Fantasy, in that the VERY interesting and well-thought-out magic is based on a city's flux and rhythms. Rats and pigeons acted as eyes for the discerning sorcerous mind, electricity and voice remnants generated a semi-god, while the lawful carriage laws to the London Underground could be used raise protection spells.

Note: If you seek deep character-development and relationships from your novels, this is not the book for you. It is all action, all external description, all show, little tell, with virtually no inner dialogue -- very much like a densely verbalized version of urban magic graphic novels, e.g., as someone mentioned, The Books of Magic and Constantine (O how I long to ride the Synchronicity Highway!). Even so, relationships are clear and authentic. Characters emerge with unique voices and personality, and are capable of surprising even the jaded reader.

Apart from the occasional clunky clause or awkward phrase, this is overall an extremely well-written work that will pull you into a familiar but alien world, down the proverbial rabbit hole. A writer to watch.

Highly recommended!
