The Hexologists

So, let’s start with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars! I adored this book. I have not read any of Josiah Bancroft’s previous novels, so I had no expectations going in for how he developed characters, his storytelling style, or his world building. Let’s just say he accomplished all of them with high marks from my point of view.

From the wonderfully strong, but flawed Iz, to the burly, sensitive War, they are a power couple. And let’s not forget the fiery Felivox (you’ll understand…just read the book) the characters are well rounded, and utterly charming.

The plot to the book is Sherlock Holmes meets a throughly enjoyable magic system. Bancroft did explain quite a bit of his magical world throughout the book, but he also left many stones to overturn and explore in the future.

If you like a well written, thought out world, with lively, witty banter and an intriguing mystery, then this book is for you!

Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit Books for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
