Thieves' Quarry by D.B. Jackson
5.0
Excellent as always - I enjoy this historical Urban Fantasy and wish that more authors would try this in their writing. Modern Urban is not bad, nor is Historical in and of itself, but there is something about a present-tense feel to a past-tense world.
Ethan Kaille is, as usual, an excellent Sorcery Detective in a Revolutionary time period of Boston. There is enough real world history to give the time and place authenticity, but plenty of fantasy to be fun and not a history lesson. I love this series so much, and has become one of the markers by which I use to guide my own writing.
The ending is never predictable, which makes for a fun read, and the characters are always each unique and interesting. I always envision this as an Old World Harry Dresden series, though with a different and younger actor as the lead.
Great book.
