Trailer Park Trickster by David R. Slayton
4.5
adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was exquisite from start to finish. A chaotic whirlwind of magic, family drama and psychoitc royalty. 
 
 We pick up from where White Trash Warlock left off. There was alot of character growth in this and we started to see some of those family bonds slowly being to repair as trust was built back up. We met some new members of the Binder Clan, and got loads more questions surrounding the identity of the Druid. 
 
 The secondary characters really stand out and feel just as substantial as Adam and Vic. It's not a typical romance or love story, and  I appreciate the fact that it doesn't focus on the fact that they are gay. It just is, and its not brought up every two seconds like some other lgbtq novels. It's just two guys finding their way in a relationship together. 
 
 A fantastic urban fantasy with incredible world building and a complex magic system. Even though we only get glimpses of how things are on the other side, and the politics of The Watchtowers and other races, only adds to the mystery, and any tidbit you do get, you treasure.
 
 My reason for knocking off half a star is that plot felt it was moving too fast - that it was speeding along to get to the end and it made it a little hard to process events as they happened.
