... and Holtar, necromancer, dark elf, and Seymour's partner in crime-solving, of course. But I've had a soft spot for Seymour since meeting him for the first time in Andi Ewington's The Hero Interviews, so I'm chuffed to bits that he and Holtar are getting their own series. Yay! The story is set in a world that makes heavy use of (and pokes fun) at fantasy and D&D tropes, and while it adds another layer of familiarity (and a couple of easter eggs) if you have read The Hero Interviews, it can absolutely be read as a standalone. I found the mystery engaging and there were enough clues (and a couple of red herrings) thrown in to keep me turning the pages (often way past my bedtime).

More, please?
