Description

As a budding little necromancer, I soon discovered that the world of city people is complicated. When my master kicked me out of the cave, he warned me not to talk about my “dark” magic, because people here don't like the undead. I am not really an undead, I just have a skeleton hand, but it is better to be careful. Anyway, that's not my biggest worry.

In the Black Dagger brotherhood, I learn a lot of things, such as illusionist magic, which turns out to be quite handy to survive in this maze of streets: in the Cat Quarter, we have thugs of all kinds that are best avoided. But we also have good people, goodhearted “gwaks”, as we say around here.

Little did I know that I would soon be caught up in an infamous traffic that would entangle my life even more.

With a mix of lighthearted adventure and picaresque, this story narrates the hectic life of a good-spirited street child and his companions in a medieval urban fantasy setting with some nineteenth-century influences.

This is a novel everyone on RR needs to read. Its really good! Its not nitty gritty as of yet and has kept a light tone. I think the tone has really matched the naivety of the character. As the character becomes more ingratiated to the world the tone lowers more and more into dark instead of light. That is my impression so far. The comedy is hilarious! The author wraps it up so well in the characters as well that it becomes an undertone of comedy throughout.
Grammar- Ths review will have more grammar issues than the book.
Style- Great! The authors way of writing is comedic in a great way! Its more subtle, which makes it all the better. I wish to read many works by this author in the future as you can tell they have put a lot of time into their pieces.
Story- Maybe not one-of-a-kind, its hard to get one of a kind with necromancer stories, but it is done so well! MC leaves a loving relationship with his adoptive master to enter the world. Not a lot of spells are known, however magic is seen as a tool instead of a 'the good side and the dark side'.
Character- This is my favorite part! All the characters are well written. You get to see a verbose view of the world from the MC's eyes yet the descriptions are not heavy you feel like you have to wade through it. The author really was able to get into the mind of the MC most of all and write really well from his perspective. The side characters are not one-dimensional and the story is picking up! It definitely has the slice-of-life feel to it so far, which has been nice.
