The Prophecy Con by Patrick Weekes
5.0
Reread in July 2021
I...really enjoy this series. Honestly, I wish I could find more books like these: fun books that don't shy away from things. (Also that have a healthy dose of diversity.)
Anyway, like the second book more than the first because everyone seems fleshed out better and like they are in less of a comedy fantasy book and more in a fantasy book where comedy things happen (like, all the time).
Other than that, I just can't figure out why it's taken me so long to reread this series because it is fun!
(Side note: I dithered about adding my m/m tag to this book, but there is a couple scenes between a pov male character and another male character wherein they are going to find a room to rent (and there's enough blushing and innuendo that you know what the room is for) - this is, really, neither more or less attention given to any other pairing in the book - except for Loch's romance, I don't think any of the others have been seen kissing. (Except the manipulator in the first book. I think there was a kiss there.) Anyway, I think you can tell how uncertain I am if I should have this tag here, but it does meet all my requirements and...I had half forgotten about this until I started rereading the series. So, for now, it stays.)
