Magic Eater: An Uncanny Kingdom Urban Fantasy by M.V. StottMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Genuinely funny, in a bumbling British loser-who-knows-he's-a-loser kind of way. Content warning for plenty of contextual swearing.
Scruffy around the edges as far as editing is concerned; the commas, hyphens, and especially apostrophes need a good tune-up, but I only spotted one homonym error (birth/berth).
This is urban fantasy with a strong British flavour, a high body count (to which the protagonist is not indifferent), and an action-packed plot. It uses the old amnesia trope, but does a decent job with it.
Part of a series which in turn is part of a larger world; I would read another if I was in the right mood.
