Basically Law & Order meets a Dungeon & Dragons game meets LOTR (sort of). This was a fun read as well and not exactly what you would expect from a fantasy novel. I'm not sure what to say about it exactly other than it was fun to read. The characters were fairly interesting, although I wish some of them had been fleshed out more outside of their jobs.

I'll be honest, I absolutely picked this one up for the title. I didn't have huge expectations, other than basic competence (perhaps because I've had a bit of a bad run with similar book selection techniques lately), but it actually turned out to be quite entertaining. Nothing revolutionary, and not entirely what I was expecting based on the title, but an enjoyable way to spend an hour or two.

My beloved police procedurals in a fantasy setting, how did I not read this earlier? Finished this in two days (pfft, grad school) and immediately picked up the next one. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of the relationship between Danthres and Torin...

One note: I hate accents and dialects being written into dialogue; I'd rather have it noted and described than explicitly written. Somehow, this time, it didn't bother me. That's some masterful dialectifying.

If the premise of two guards investigating murders among a party of so-called "adventurers" sounds appealing, you'll probably find Dragon Precinct a pleasant read.
