説明
Probationary Constable Peter Grant finds himself at a crossroads in his career as he navigates the bustling streets of London with a unique set of challenges. His aspirations of becoming a detective seem increasingly distant after being assigned mundane duties that hardly reflect his ambition. However, a chance encounter with a ghostly witness to a crime thrusts him into a world where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, revealing layers of supernatural intrigue hidden within the city he thought he knew so well.
As Peter delves deeper into this mystical realm, he uncovers secrets of London's rivers and the ancient deities that inhabit them. With a newfound mentor, he begins to blend his police work with the supernatural, leading him on thrilling investigations that blur the lines between reality and magic. Each case pulls him further into a shadowy underbelly, where danger lurks, and the very fabric of London itself is at stake.

I loved it! It's a charming, crude fantasy with loads of mythologg. It's an easy read that keeps you interested - I don't like to compare, however I'm reminded of Neil Gaiman's books.

I can tell when a book was written by a guy 10 years ago apparently. That said the first of the Rivers of London urban fantasy series does hold up relatively well and I am happy to have finally picked it up!

Me gustó bastante, el humor del protagonista me sacó varias risas y amé a Toby, definitivamente. Los demás personajes también me gustaron bastante, la verdad no había leído libros con esta temática de policías mágicos, y me gustó bastante.Aunque el final de este libro se me hizo un poco tedioso, aunque eso no va a evitar que continúe con los demás.
