I am a confirmed fan of this author, and this book is a good example of why. It's got excellent characters, a twisting plot, fantastic attention to setting, and plenty of gritty, shivery aspects. Great depictions of magic too. Though the voices are a bit samey in expression, Wilson's trademark wit and complex characters are here to fill out the ranks. Steven Moffat could stand to learn from him.I wish it had more length, though--there's a lot going on. The vampire plot is a bit extra, the nemeses seemed a bit piled on--one South African nemesis just didn't get my interest piqued for some reason, even though I wanted to like that plot. I think I need to reread it.Over all, it's a good book and definitely has me piqued for the next in the series. Also, I need doughnuts now.
