Magic and the Shinigami Detective by Honor Raconteur

I had felt sure that there were more from the variety. I was surprised to find that it was only two voice artists. They are richly painted, wonderfully individual and superbly voiced by the cast. Surrender to their charm and embrace them. It is very hard not to fall in love with the characters. That is actually just right because this is very much a book lead by its characters, setting and quality of writing. The story is good and original but not spectacular. I loved the gentle tone and superb performance It’s all mounting to a dangerously powerful, magical construct, capable of toppling the wards on any building.Īnd no one has any idea what the thieves true target is. They, in fact, seem to have an agenda - as with each theft, they take magical objects. Hopefully, killing one witch makes Jamie Edwards enough of an expert on magic to be helpful, as the thieves aren’t content to just break into one building. What is he supposed to do with a partner? Every officer in the precinct is either in awe of her, or a little frightened by her. The woman is famous for killing the most destructive rogue witch of the century, and no one is quite certain where she’s from. Even more astounding, he assigns Henri a partner - The Shinigami Detective. Quite to his astonishment, Captain Gregson has him work the case like a detective. To say the police are ‘alarmed’ by this is the understatement of the century.Īs a Magical Examiner, Henri Davenforth is, of course, immediately called in.

The break-in is daring enough, but their method shreds the magical wards and protections on the building like confetti paper. When the Night Foxes boldly break into the Fourth Precinct’s Evidence Building, it causes quite the stir.
