Heaviness and originality

If the series The Last Sorcerer's Apprentice is not pure fantasy novel and hard, she deserves to mix contemporary world and fantastic topics: gods and goddesses river, vampires and other chimeras live in the XXI sicèle London. Lintelligence Ben Aaronovitch has not been hiding universe of magic as is often the case in this kind of literature (as in the case of Harry Potter), but letting that knowledge for an elite: the police chief that Scottland Yard for example. The investigation is therefore evolving in parallel in two worlds: moon with modern technologies (HOLMES, traces DNA) and a more artisanal and ancestral.

If this second volume requires reading the first to enter all the allusions, Ben Aaronovitch knew the elements necessary to establish the loyalty of its readers: humor, a bit of Shares and distillation in small drops of psychology and past major characters.

But this novel presents some tape and delays, and in this second volume the reader is somewhat drowned in the amount of new characters (plus the former from the first volume).

So dear reader, do not let yourself be discouraged, the same final if he is a little disappointing reveals a very original murderous practice.
