A review by oashackelford
Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch
5.0
In this Rivers of London book, PC Peter Grant is tracking down the Faceless man and trying to find and dismantle his operation when he starts to find out about magical objects built with the purpose of retaining magic for future use.
I don't really know how to say anything else about this book without giving away the plot but I really enjoyed the plot of this one. I like that Aaronovitch doesn't have unimportant characters that get left behind. The officers, informants, and criminals all feel like real people that have passions outside the framework we first meet them in. I do think that the other books in the series had their own plots that happened to further the overarching plot of all the novels, this one was written to only further the overarching plot as well as to teach us more about the rules of magic and the magical community.
