This was a lighter, more humorous addition to the world of Magorian and Jones. A true side story and can be read independent of the rest of the series. I was riveted from beginning to end and was completely immersed in the story, almost feeling as if I was taking part in finding the solution to the mystery. Thought-provoking without being preachy, quirky, and including an excellent Star Trek reference (which I particularly admire since I've been a fan for over 50 years), this was a really enjoyable read. Lots of funny moments, but written in a understated, matter of fact way. The phrasing/delivery of some lines was just beautiful and made it that much better. ___ Canadian author Taylen Carver writes edgy urban fantasy, doesn't pull punches, and would rather be writing unless otherwise notified.  When not writing, Taylen can usually be found inside speculative fiction of other authors.  Favorites include Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kevin Hearne, Laurell K.
