Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Kakistocracy by Alex Shvartsman



Conrad Brent is a mage without magic.   A middling or possibly a god-in-waiting with an abundance of ethics and morals.   His power is in his out-of-the-box thinking.   He successfully offends a segment of the fae and comes home to discover that a wealth of enemies has invaded his city.  

Shvartsman has come up with a highly likable character who recognizes that occasionally it is imperative to be ruthless.  Kind-hearted and yet filled with righteous indignation over any kind of mistreatment of “his” borough citizens, Conrad gets his butt kicked but bounces back.

I’d hoped for a rapprochement with Herc would happen but perhaps in the next book.  Moira O’Leary has grown into a full-blown character.   She may be my new favorite with her skewed understanding of karma.

God, fairies, trolls, guns, spells, battles what’s not to like?

I recommend the book and the series!
