A review by katieinca
Trailer Park Trickster by David R. Slayton
4.0
This had a lot of what I wanted from the first book - Adam's hometown, how he interacts with the people there, the history of magic in his family - plus plenty of action, and the relationships from the first book get developed further. I mean, Adam and Vic are kind of big dummies who are terrible about communicating with each other (especially Adam) but they're getting a little better. So yay!
I still have a hard time with his elves. "They're super scary powerful and ancient and you cannot comprehend their powers and you can never ever trust them because they'll eat you alive. Except the two elf characters we actually hang out with are fairly chill, friendly, and like pop culture, and one of them may be genuinely in love with our protagonist." It feels so much less internally consistent to me than the human side of what goes on these books that it pulls me out of the narrative.
