In good news for fans of Allie Therin, a small man with occult powers that are dangerous for him but who can't help running his mouth off is hanging out with a taller and more physically powerful man whose job is to keep him out of trouble and from causing it some what unsuccessfully.
The genre and worldbuilding of this book, however, are definitely different and so is the pace. I still delighted in it, even if I'm bristling at the slowness of the burn.
SO SLOW.
