review 1: I had some trouble with this book in the beginning, but as I read along.....I did find myself wanting to find out just what happens to Grand Magician Drake and the man that makes him shy, Adam Wexley. It's the made up world of the Four Courts and the old mixing with the new that kind of threw me off. I suppose I either like my stories from the past or the future and mixing them leaves me feeling out of sorts. You have a court setting of old times and then night clubs with animals with peoples souls trapped in them doing human jobs....to much of a stretch for me. Still, I finished and hope to read the next book.
review 2: The alternate universe of the book was very interesting. It is set in present times, but with a medieval structure of government (a king surou
... morended by nobles belonging to 4 cardinal courts) that was probably held in place by the realities of having magic in the world.The characters were very interesting, but I was dissapointed because they didn't interact nearly as much as I would have wanted them to. I was hoping for more romance because the fantasy plot was in a large part based on the motivations of each character and for at least one of them the strogest motivator was his rather strong crush. Unfortunately, even when he did receive attention from his love interest it didn't really seem passionate at all (and his crush seemed to be willing to go to bed with him only because he could and felt a little sexual attraction).I'm left wondering if this book is even romance. If it isn't, then I think it have been. less

Fun, funny, serious magic going-ons, intriguing. Looking forward to the next one!

Deserves more stars but the whole concept of dealing in souls freaked me out.

This sounds weird-ish and cool-ish.
