A review by karyanca
Saint of Dead Gods by B.C. Palmer
4.0
I'm always looking for something fresh in the urban fantasy genre. I bought this book months ago as a sort of protest against a ridiculous bad review, but only recently finished reading it.
I prefer 1st person POV for UF, but the multiple 3rd person works better for this story, building the tension as the two main POV characters are working the same "case" from different directions. Good pacing, sympathetic characters, and a balance of real world and fantasy elements.
The ending is perfect for the first in a series. No cliff-hanger, but opens up the story world and characters for future books. I'm looking forward to the next book.
