> Rivers of London series
Whats nice about the first book is that its a love letter to london. Its not too serious, which a lot of fantasy can be. Its fun.
Its a light fantasy, in that most of the world is "normal" london, and the "silly bollocks" is threaded through reality, rather than the other way around.
At first Kobna kinda grated, but he now is to me, DCI grant, and a whole bunch of other characters.
