Classic indeed. Lots of snark, twisty plot, deadpan violence, a solid lead, colorful weird characters, fast pacing, and a sophisticated and sly undercurrent of clever commentary. A fine entry in the series.

I am so blown away by this ninth (!) book in the series. I really can’t say too much about what happened to do that as I don’t want to give away what happened. This is probably my favorite book in the series, and since I’ve loved all of them, that’s saying something. In this latest, Eric is up to his normal shenanigans, killing people and trying to stop the apocalypse while figuring out his love life. This one really packed a punch since we examine Eric’s past a little closer than normal. This is well-written, action-packed, wonderful dark urban fantasy at its finest. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

First book by this author and if his other books are this enjoyable I'll be getting them next. The main character is a mage in a world where mages tend to be egomaniacs with unfathomable powers and a hair trigger. He is no exception. With his undead troops and necromantic skills he finds himself in all sorts of insane and dangerous positions that he always seems to wiggle out of. The banter between him and other characters is witty, dark and extremely entertaining. the action is fast paced and keeps you going from chapter to chapter not wanting to put the book down. In this book, Time has gone amok, buildings, orange groves and people keep appearing from the past and it's all the fault of our main character. Well somewhat, because he's always responsible for it somehow. There is an undead Oracle trying to run the show as well, which is a problem because our lead created it SO, he is somewhat responsible. I can't dig too much deeper without spoiling things but many former characters return from previous books. If you like the series you will enjoy this book, If you like dark gritty and humorous urban fantasy, you will enjoy this book. If you like your anti-heroes in the style of Dresden Files, you will like this book. I myself liked it and thank the Author, Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read an ARC.
