5/29/2023 0 Comments Fated by Benedict Jacka![]() ![]() ![]() Jacka even writes in a cheeky reference to Harry Dresden. In the first few minutes of the book, it's hard not to compare Alex Verus to Dresden and to Atticus O'Sullivan. With all of the comparisons to Jim Butcher and Kevin Hearne I thought I'd give it a try. This is the perfect book to enjoy over a weekend or to binge over the summer. ![]() I truly enjoyed the imagination put into this story and am eager to read through the rest of the series. The world building is immersive and easy to follow, the action and pacing are quick, and the book is full of heart and humor. The side characters were fun and complimentary to Alex, though I hope to see Luna become more confident in future books. He really did feel like a normal person with justifiable motives and logical actions. He's kind, clever, and doesn't have the arrogance that some UF leads can have. ![]() It was very easy for me to connect with Alex. What follows is a series of adventures as Alex and Luna racce to discover what the strange device can do, and stay alive in the process. The story follows Alex Verus, a mage with a complex past, as he and his friend Luna come across a valuable object that every mage in London wants to possess. FATED is perfect for readers who want an exciting, urban fantasy adventure with a new hero and an immersive setting. It's a book that has been on my TBR for so long that I almost forgot about it didn't know if I'd have time to try it. ![]()
