Moon Over Soho
by Ben Aaronovitch
This is the second book in the Rivers of London urban fantasy series. While I'd mediumly-enjoyed the opening book, I enjoyed this second volume substantially more. I liked the voice of the first-person narration: the humor, the dryness, the crisp action descriptions, the occasional but effective emotional moments. I liked the main character, Peter Grant, a police constable assigned to the supernatural. I liked the cast of secondary recurring characters, led by Peter's boss and teacher, Nightingale. I liked the supernatural mysteries, and (mild spoiler) . Also, as a former Londoner, I very, very much enjoyed reading about my one-time home town. Highly recommended.
About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).
