Cold Iron Task by James J. Butcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The third book in the UF is truly circling back to pick up the cliffhangers of the first. This is pretty great. But more importantly, we're getting a lot more details and character building. Action, magic, and mystery is great, but any story is ultimately going to hang on how much we like the characters.

At least for me, I'm solid there. It's like I'm getting a good dose of vitamin C with the pulp of this orange juice of a book. At least for the synesthesia part of the review, I kinda feel like I'm fighting off a cold, which is strange for how much our MC keeps bursting into flame, or walking around like a soot-mobile. So thank goodness for the juice, even if it doesn't mix too well with the carbon sheen.

I'm still having a lot of fun. I really like the snark.




Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
