Nothing worse than trying to learn a magic system when it contradicts itself because the author couldn't make concrete laws. One of the things I respected about this book is that the magic system the author has developed is realistic and consistent. Henchman keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. And the setting of a magical Las Vegas underworld is so unique that you can't help but keep reading in order to immerse yourself in the world author Villa-Real has created. So much so that readers will connect with him and cheer him on. And the main character, H, is developed thoroughly.
It's continuously packed with excitement and intrigue. This is probably one of the top ten books I've read this year! It's not a short read, but it never dips into boring fluff content. So H is sent on a journey to clear the Syndicate of any suspicion. And the signs are pointing at the Syndicate, which has worked for so long to keep the peace. During the annual convention of magic, a wielder is murdered. This fast-paced tale follows H, who is a mob enforcer and magic wielder with a natural gift.
