Cute Story But...

Cute story but I seem to be a bit tone-deaf to the humour that so many others seem to love about this book. It's often clever but much of it also struck me as obvious and bordering on feeling forced. On the plus side, some of the characters were great fun, (Sergeant Shadwell, for instance), and the writing was decent enough. I did enjoy much of the dialog, though the plot was a bit thin... It seemed to sort of trundle along hitting all the expected points on the way toward a very obvious conclusion.

I dunno, light & humorous urban fantasy might just not be my thing.
