Coyote's Creed (Broken Mirrors, #1) in The Slash Pile

It's weird. Often it feels like the characters are performing to camera, which makes you too aware of the fourth wall.

It gets more engaging later, even if the overall thing is a workout for your suspension of disbelief.

My eyes kind of glazed over when they were explicating on background and history and whatever and whatnot.

The grammar could use some love. Comma splices, odd turns of phrase, sentences that no matter how I read them, feel like they should be questions (and are missing commas)... ...more

Excellent world building. Fun characters and a plot convoluted enough to keep any reader of Urban Fantasy interested. Spencer's a hero with all the issues you'd expect from any UF hero, but he spends maybe 10% of the book brooding over it, 90% of the time it's all action and getting shit done.
