The Midnight Mayor by Kate Griffin
4.0
It is almost ridiculous how literary this urban fantasy novel feels. I am not sure if I can ever fully enjoy a Harry Dresden novel again when I know I could read something like Matthew Swift, more complex, more depth.
Matthew Swift and the blue angels start out much the same as the first book, which is a bit disconcerting. The Death of Cities has come to London and murders the Midnight Mayor, the protector of magical London. Before he dies he chooses Matthew as his successor, and he now has to figure out how to stop London from dying. And what's up with this hat that someone is missing?
Fascinating, literary, but maybe not quite as captivating as the previous book. And yet I can't wait to read the next one, to learn more about all the characters, the tantalizing hints that despite the blue angels, Matthew has emotions left to him.
