It's sad that this series is finished. But it is a satisfying ending.
Reviews and Comments
An avid sci-fi and fantasy reader who sometimes does historical fiction or even mainstream.
You might notice that most of my reviews are 5 stars. That's because if I start reading a book that doesn't engage me, I stop reading it. Life is too short. I've realized that it's not fair to review a book I haven't read and nobody really needs to hear why I didn't get into a book especially when they might like it.
My goals with reviews are to be brief and give other potential readers an idea of why they might like the book. I leave it to the marketing people and other reviewers to describe the plots.

I was almost inclined not to read this because the fairyland our human heroine is navigating is not a fun place to be.
But this is a good story.

This second volume in the series has a good fast-moving story with big ideas and more depth on some of the characters from the first volume.
I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I don't usually go for graphic novels, but this one completely worked for me.
Maybe because the drawings were simple.
Or more likely because all the characters are talking animals.

Yup. I'm still liking this series that mashes together two of my favourite genres - police procedural and urban fantasy. Peter Grant, the protagonist and narrator, is fine fellow to spend time with.

This was a satisfying end to the series.
And if Mr. Wexler finds it necessary to tell us more about what happens to any of these folks, I'd be more than happy to read the follow up.

These Iron Druid stories are a good substitute for Harry Dresden stories.

Review of 'Terminal Alliance (Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse, #1)' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Call me a sap, but I really enjoy a story where the humans are the underdogs and a bunch of janitors win the day because of their advanced skills with cleaning technology.
I'm not surprised I liked this because Martha Wells recommended it.
