Limelight (Arcane Casebook Book 5) par Dan Willis
I'm really enjoying this series. Alex is likeable and his friends are as well, not to mention odd and intriguing. The incidents are imaginative and complex. This one in particular, really opens up wide new horizons. I'm eager to see where they lead.
I am a huge fan of Harry Dresden so I thought I'd give this a try. It took me a little while to become invested in the story, but I like the main characters. I thought the combination of rune magic and private detective skills was interesting. I will most likely continue on with the series.
Until the finale, the book accomplished what it set out to do. It wasn't particularly original in its plot construction but the world at least was quite creative and it managed to bring across the noir atmosphere it was going for.
The end is a hot mess though. The book can't stop chaining twists together that get bigger and bigger.
At the end there, I wouldn't have been surprised by alien zombie-cow people trying to mind-control the government with nano-tech milk.
It's not actually that absurd but it went so far beyond anything reasonable in an effort to impress that it became laughable. Each twist had to outdo the previous one but each time it seems like the author wasn't yet satisfied with the scope and the mind blow. That is not how twists work. There are some tenuous connections to hints and breadcrumbs from earlier but they are all so vague that you could've crafted any conclusion you wanted to fit them.
tl;dr
cool world, mediocre writing, average plot, bad and absurd end.… (plus d'informations)

This series is quite good. I enjoy the magical system and the reimagined NYC and world. The plot has twists and turns and it's nicely written.
