A very cute, stand-alone, Ree Reyes adventure that sets up for bigger things to come in Ree's world. If you haven't read any of the Ree Reyes books (Geekomancy, Celebromancy), you could easily start with this novella and get a very good grasp of Ree's universe and how magic works there, and of the people she's surrounded by. Fun stuff. I really enjoyed it. (I think there ought to be a new name for the genre of these books and Jim Hines' Libriomancer series. Nerdpunk? Geekpunk? Fanpunk?) (Provided by publisher) Very fun, action-packed continuation of the characters from GEEKOMANCY and CELEBROMANCY. Also an excellent set-up of a few plots and potentials for the next Ree Reyes novel. I would recommend reading GEEKOMANCY before you read this, or you'll be missing very crucial underpinnings of this novella's twists and plot points. Far more action-packed than I was expecting, but in a good way that helped add rather than subtract anything from characters. Want A wild ride on the geek side ? Here it is, comics, card games, movies, steampunk and all their powers and weapons. I was a happy giggling fangirl at all the pop culture references. A fun spirited magical read. This was my first look at the series I did not realize it was not the first book. I was a bit lost in the beginning and nearly quit but a light saber pulled me back and I started ti really enjoy the ride. What to do when the bar you are attacked at work,Grognard's Grog and Games by sewer gnomes ? Pull out all the magic you can get from anywhere you can and run. I plan on getting the first books in this fun series to find out what I missed. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Pertence à sérieRee Reyes (2.5)
A side-quest novella in the bestselling Geekomancy urban fantasy series--when D&D-style adventures go from the tabletop to real life, look out! Ree Reyes, urban fantasista and Geekomancer extraordinaire, is working her regular drink-slinger shift at Grognard's bar-and-gaming salon when everything goes wrong. The assorted magic wielders of the city's underground have come to test their battle skills via RPGs like D&D, V:TES, White Wolf, and the like. All the usuals are there: her ex-mentor Eastwood, Drake (the man-out-of-time adventurer), and, of course, Grognard himself (her boss and a brewer of beer that act as magic potions). However, it's the presence of these and other "usuals" that makes all the trouble. For, a nemesis from Eastwood and Ree's past decides to finally take her revenge not just on those two, but on every self-styled "hero" in the city who happens to have crossed her at one point or another. When wave after wave of monsters besiege Grogrnard's store, if Ree & Co. are going to survive, they're going to have to work together. And avoid the minotaur. That's always a good rule of thumb.

For anyone who hasn't checked out the Geekomancy novels, check them out. Anyone with a love for pop reference culture and a heavy nostalgia will be delighted by the magic system in these urban fantasies. It's all about geeking out to power-up. I love the idea and keep wanting to throw my own ideas into the mix and become one of the most bad-ass magicians this world has ever seen. That's it's charm.
I don't recommend reading this novellete out of context, though. It's all hack and slash with no character development or huge consequence except for the barkeep. That being said, it was jolly fun. ( )
