Review from Death Rites (The Lazarus Codex) →
This is yet another largely disappointing clone of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, complete with gods, ghosts, magic, necromancy and the ubiquitous tough, skeptical, female police detective. It’s rather predictable, but not unreadable. However, nothing really stands out as unique and nothing makes me want to read any more of the series.
This was a fantastic story that really had elements of what you would expect from any reincarnation magical world story. It hits alot of the best notes from an op main character to using past life knowledge to accell. However, it does have a twist in the fact that even with the main character being..

Review from Of Sea and Shadow →
Frankly I’ll be sticking to this side of the storyline.

It’s a dry, dark, adventure of a sociopath that doesn’t have..

Fantastic book, characters you actually care about. A story about struggling to be your best and the drive to do it. The magic idea is new & very cool. You will love it I promise!!!

I enjoy the study and practice of developing my core energy. Fun material to consider.
Review from Shallow Grave →
I’ve found that it’s usually around book 3 of books with this many entries that the author finds a plot to span multiple titles and this one is no different. These books are fun, but nowhere near thorough enough to fully satisfy me. I picked them up as a Dresens Files alternative and though these..
The second entry in this series loses a lot of the pressure behind the main character that drove his growth in the first book. Instead, the book opts for almost a slice of life entry, with protagonist exploring different jobs and thinking about how to get more money. The series may pick up momentum again..
