Devil's Due by Percival Constantine
5.0
Kick-ass fantasy for a great series debut
I'm a sucker for a good fantasy novel. Some people take holidays in hot places, I pick up a book and let my mind take me somewhere, with the help of the author.
While some of the books feel a let down, like your view of the bay being obscured by a concrete wall in front of your hotel window, in the best you can see sparkling blue sea, hear the gulls cry and lose yourself following wisps of palest white cloud across the sky. That's what this book is like.
Of course, the hero is a wise-ass, of course he has a beautiful, other-worldly girlfriend. And of course the cast is full of familiar types. But the author has a clear grip on his universe and I've enjoyed every minute of him playing with it as I followed Luther's adventures.
Really looking forward to reading the second in the series for my next fix of Luther Cross's world. It's a good one, and I'd invite you to join me there.
