I am super pleased to finally have read this one and it did not disappoint. Somewhat between an urban, a mystery, a detective story and also an immersive and cultured lyrical and verbose drama, is the story and world of the Hexologists. Iz and Warren are a married, loving couple who have defied the norm by doing their own thing and using magic most people have opted to forget in their world. They work together in a charming manner to solve mysteries using Hexology, and they do it whilst bolstering and supporting one another, something very unusual and cosy which you don’t often see in fantasy. I was really thrilled to read from the PoV of a healthy and kind married couple and I also felt excited to dive into their plot. It’s a windy one and yet it feels joyous and like a run ride to be on.
Iz was a feisty and determined character who knows her own value and worth and brought a lot to the story. She’s powerful and yet she also leans on her husband when she’s having a hard time, something I felt was very genuine about her. I liked her resourcefulness and the way that she narrowed things down and took the lead in their problem-solving a lot of the time.
Warren is a charming delight to read about. His wit and snappy dialogue can charm anyone and he always manages to soften Iz’s exterior for those around. He’s able to really capitalise on the people and what they know as he gains trust and friendship easily. I liked seeing him work to balance out Iz.
Together the duo are a fun pair who don’t take themselves too seriously, never forget to have a good time, and who are very good at what they do. They’re determined and resourceful and able to laugh as they get into some tricky situations too. They are fun and full of life and they kept me engaged as a reader.
The plot felt a little secondary to the characters for me in this book, although there is a mystery of the king and whether he’s sired an illegitimate heir, that felt like the backdrop to showing off the characters. I was interested in the story but really I think I’d read about these two whatever they were up to so I am glad that there should be more to come in this series.
4*s from me.
