My favourite fantasy police procedural of all time. This series is just so much fun and one I will definitely be rereading. Engaging characters, compelling narrative and plot, fantasy creatures and plenty of humour. Just about everyting you could want really.

A quite unusual and entertaining book that mixes fantasy and police procedural.
I liked the fleshed out cast of characters and the interesting world building.
I look forward to reading other books by this author.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Good Company is the third novel in this sprawling fantasy series by author Dale Lucas and is best described as the grit of grimdark meets a police procedural. I would highly recommend starting at book one (First Watch) as it features a lot of worldbuilding and character development I feel is crucial to a readers enjoyment. I thought it was really clever right from the beginning of the series to put meld two completely separate genres together, and Lucas does a great job in the process. It's a compelling tale and it kept my attention throughout without any problems. All in all, with an interesting cast, plenty of danger and surprises, and a fascinating world to boot, this is a highly entertaining fantasy. Many thanks to Orbit for an ARC.

I wanted to love this, the premise sounded so good, but I think it needed more world building and character development, as it stands at the moment it’s just not one for me, sorry.

A jolly good read blending different genres such as fantasy and buddy cop style into a book that whilst not to everyone’s taste certainly kept me entertained and engaged

I am afraid this book just wasn't for me, I didn't like the main characters, and found the language used to be clumsy and clunky, can't win them all I guess.Thanks for the ARC.
