The Fantasy Books

Libromancer

by Hines, Jim C.

Description

How to describe this one? It's kind of like Brandon Sanderson and Jim Butcher got it on in a library and this was their literary love child. There is really no easy way to explain this one. But, there's a lot of zaniness, a whole lot of action, a caste of colorful characters, an interesting magic system, and pretty much every sort of urban fantasy creature you're used to in a Dresden novel tossed into the plot. A surprisingly good read and there's a certain similar feel to a Dresden novel.
