Disclaimer: I recieved a copy of this book for free in return for a review

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. I had only scanned through the synopsis and thought this was a bit outside my normal genre range and thus worth a read (apparently I missed the title of the book!).

The author is very good at setting up characters - the book is mainly told from three peoples points of view and within a few lines you get an excellent sense of the character - be it an old school banker with the 'traditional' old school likes of gin, wood and leather or a cop who prides himself on his job and appearance. The only character that I felt had been a bit skipped over was Kara - she seemed to jump between all trusting, all loathing and awfully confused

though this could also be the wizards meddling again

I was a tad surprised at the outcome of the story, it certainly fits with the way that it has been written, but it almost felt like things... fell into place a bit too neatly

or that the wizards had everything planned from the start - which is likley but it made the actions of every character apart from them seem a bit pointless

.

I would definitely recomend this book and would be interesting in reading other books by this author.
