The Fifth Ward: First Watch by Dale Lucas

5.0

Supernatural buddy cop adventure. Do I have your interest now? I so enjoyed this book. I honestly thought it was going to be more of a contemporary urban fantasy story, but it was in a legit fantasy world while focusing on the members of the city Watch. It felt like I was witnessing a D&D adventure, really, with all the different races and the inherent cliches and racial biases that we fantasy lovers are so familiar with. Rem was a cool protagonist and I actually enjoyed Torval's gruffness. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens in this city/world next.
