The Code of the Vavasors by Jonathan Pinnock
4.0
I’m going to be honest: I didn’t know that this was a series when I started this book. I very quickly realised that this was in fact book 6, and I was filled with dread – but it didn’t matter! I still really enjoyed the story and I got a great introduction to the characters and the world, while still getting a sense of the wider story that this was a part of.

In many ways this book reminded me of the Rivers of London series, just without the magic. It had a strong sense of humour, a good cast of characters with a couple of core players and some others who pass in and out, and a wacky and slightly unhinged (in the best way) approach to the plot.
The maths elements were also a really fun addition. I love maths and I’ve never seen it mixed in with a book like this, but it was also done in a way that could appeal and make sense to those with less mathematical knowledge. Everything is explained between the characters in a way that includes the reader without slowing down the story.
I also really liked the author’s approach to diversity. There were characters of different races, sexualities and gender identities, but it was done in a way that felt very realistic and true to life. There wasn’t any fanfare about it, but it still affected the character’s lives in day-to-day ways.
This was a great read, and now I’m going to go and track down the first five books in the series!
