Simply the best fantasy detective noir I have read - well paced and funny with quietly great worldbuilding. If you wish Raymond Chandler had written about wizards (or honestly if that never crossed your mind) you'll have a great time with these books.

If you're a new writer looking to publish your book, my biggest piece of advice is to do research into publishing, no matter whether you want to go trad or self-pub. And PLEASE avoid vanity presses and hybrid publishers that ask you to pay to publish your book.
