A medical-flavored mystery with a down to earth sense of urban fantasy to it. The descriptions are particularly wonderful and manage to escape getting too florid. Fun magic/infernal system, skillfully revealed. Gentle presence of social anxiety lending depth and comfort to the characters. I wish the recording had a better (or perhaps any) pop filter but that’s not the fault of the text. Excited to see more of the series.
Quite fun, but the narrator really sells it. If you can, get the audiobook.
