While both books 1 and 2 are full of magic and adventure, I felt book 1 was a bit more humorous and full of snark.
Book 1 also took the time to do the world building the entire series will rest upon so it does move a bit slower than the second book.
I can’t say I really liked D’Angelo much – he was mostly a pompous ass for the majority of the book – but he does come around and he grew on me a little.
I really didn’t like the name game that the authors played here – I think choosing more distinct names would have made more sense but… that’s just my own taste.

Joel does his usual awesome job of narrating this story which is chock full of characters with unique backgrounds! I totally loved the ‘tude he gave D’Angelo and really made his voice match his personality as written by the authors. Terrific job and definitely the best way to enjoy this story.
