It's... odd. It's pretty good, but the world feels like it needs more flushing out, or just more time in the book to explain what is going on. You get introduced to characters with only a little knowledge of who they are but being told that they're important, without fully understanding why they're so important. But overall I enjoyed it. It's weird and fun.

An outstanding supernatural thriller, Benedict Jacka's Fated introduces us to the world of Alex Verus - owner of the Arcana Emporium, Diviner, and all around smartass. Fans of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files are sure to find something familiar to love here, yet with a new and refreshing charm taking to the world of magic. In a world where people can conjure lightning, shake the earth beneath our feet or kill with just a thought... sometimes it's not about who has the most power to throw around, but who knows how much power is going to be thrown when and where. If you're looking for a new Urban Fantasy title, definitely pick up this series.
