Nate Temple is a secret
wizard. And a billionaire. Who goes cow-tipping with the Minotaur in his
sights. When his parents are murdered and he’s attacked by dragons in his own
bookstore he decides to go on the offensive. And that’s a bad thing. Because he’s uber-rich and all-powerful. Which are two of the reasons I gave up on this
book. The other is choppy writing and this story is trying super hard to be the
love child of Harry Dresden and Oliver Queen. Or Batman. But Batman’s parents
died when he was a kid and Oliver’s died when he was an adult. Plus, Oliver
owns his own business (a bar), much like Nate does with his bookstore. So, yeah, Oliver it is. In any case, this
writing does nothing but set my teeth on edge. The premise is tremendously interesting
and the world has potential, but the execution is very meh. I only set out to
find this book because of another fictional series I started called Montague
& Strong. The author tossed out the wizard in Chicago (obviously my beloved
Dresden) and the wizard in St. Louis. I had no idea who that was, so I
searched, and here I am. Disappointed. Oh, well. Moving on.
