Redgeling hat Minimum Wage Magic von Rachel Aaron besprochen

Solid first-in-series for this Heartstrikers spin-off with more magic and cyberpunk and less dragon drama (at times, the story had a decidedly Shadowrun-y feel).
Opal and Nik make a good team, solving the mystery around a mage's death, while both racing against the clock and on the run from hired thugs. It was especially great to see the Spirit of the Forgotten Dead play a small but important part in this story.
Another bonus point for Nik's old-fashioned sports car (not only completely autopilot-free, but also a stick shift, to boot) and Opal's initial... ahem... skepticism towards it. :)
Like the Heartstriker series before it, this series will be likely be a no-questions-asked-shut-up-and-take-my-money autobuy for me.
