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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Not really as dark as some of K.J. Parker's other books. The narrator and main character was a delight.
It doesn't look like there will be a sequel, but I'd be up for it.

A fine fast-moving romp. Scratched my space opera itch very well. I'm looking forward to the next volume in the series.
