Catchpenny follows Sid, a thief who can slip through mirrors. When he is called to help an old friend, Sid must reckon with all his old enemies and debts. As Sid works to complete an impossible quest, could the fate of the world hang in the balance? 

Catchpenny is a weird and enthralling book. It’s very hard to put down! I found myself reading carefully, trying to get a handle on the magic system in this book. The magic system was really interesting and I liked how it was designed. It was fun to try and predict which items would hold “mojo.”  Sid is a morally gray character who tries his best, but sometimes makes unlikable choices. The conclusion and climatic moment felt rushed to me. I can definitely see the comparison to Jim Butcher, but I’m not sure about the Neil Gaiman comparison.  I think readers who like complicated characters, urban fantasy, and Jim Butcher will enjoy this book.
