Death Magic par M.J. Kraus
Aside from some grammatical mistakes, which could have been caught by a beta reader, this was an OK read.
This story was not as good as the first one; things that I found humorous then were encountered so often they became a tad irritating (especially with the narration). The premise and execution was okay, but by the time I got to the end, I had trouble remembering much of the story. Prior reviews recommend this series to fans of Dresden and Jessica Jones ... but it just doesn't live up to that billing. Structurally you can see the similarity; but the quality is worlds apart.

The narrator was actually quite good and helped make the overall story much better.
This story seems to be targeted to younger readers or perhaps somebody in search of some casual distraction. The central premise behind this particular story was quite a stretch, even for fantasy. In addition, it often seemed like there was too much going on and not much in the way of character growth (thankfully the author did manage to avoid long descriptive sections, aka info dumps, that seem to be the rage with many of my selections these days). It worked great in the background; however, I found myself frequenlty drifting in and out of the story. While I did enjoy it, I also had a hard time trying to figure out if it was trying to be silly, like Harry Potter, or gritty, like Harry Dresden, as it appeared to swap back and forth alot. Ultimately it didn't do justice to either; however, it was good enough that I am looking forward to the sequel.

Book 3 continues along the lines seen in Book 2, with many of the same pros and cons. The plot just seems to like a clear direction at times and the story has a hard time pulling all of the threads together by the end. What started out as a little different and interesting just never realised its potential after 3 tilts at it and I can't find anything there to pull me into the next book.
