on the Kindle I finished it in one sitting. Then I read it again, then I reluctantly let my husband read it, and then I read it again. It is one of the best books I'd read in years. I tell everyone I know who might enjoy it that this is one book they must read.Smart, genre savvy, with a world populated by characters who are not just straight, white and male- something which is depressingly rare in fantasy, Rivers of London
is my kind of book.The series follows Peter Grant, a police officer and apprentice wizard in his education in the ways of London's other world. Lying somewhere between a police procedural and Terry Pratchett one of the things I liked most about the book was that it took place in a real physical place- much of the books are based in bloomsbury, soho and covent garden a part of London I know well and love. Unlike many books set in a real place this series depicts it so accurately and the atmosphere and feeling of the district is so right. No small feat in a fantasy novel.
I am desperately looking forward to book four, Broken Homes
coming out in June. However if I have to wait til Christmas to get it I think I might cave and buy it myself!
