review 1: This book is a cross between Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. Witty, vulgar, inventive,and well-written. I loved every second of this book because King Henry Price is a lovable, foul-mouthed kid/man that finds he has special powers which are Raley's version of midichlorians called anima. It takes the best concepts of fantasy and brings it to an urban setting flawlessly: vampires, all forms of mancy (pyro,necro, etc). It was jarring at first to jump between present KH and young KH, but after a few chapters or sessions since they're meant to be recorded tapes I barely noticed the switch between the past events and present. Raley does a fabulous job of keeping KH in character with his language and personality without sacrificing the qualit... morey of writing or individualism of his voice. KH is a character I can grow with and learn from, especially some choice swear words and an appreciation for people of all shapes and sizes. Must must must read!
review 2: Even though I was a little reluctant when I started this book, I was quickly hooked. I could hardly put this book down. If you need a break from the usual vampire lit,this might be the respite you've been searching for. Another reviewer described the book as, "A horny Harry Potter meets Quenton Tarantino." This made me laugh... it is spot on! The characters are generally well developed, but RR leaves enough loose ends that after checking out the next books in the FM series on RR'S blog I am going to download them on my Nook. Right now. All of them. Fangirl alert! less
