Jedna z mých oblíbených knih — a je pořád skvělá! Zdálo se mi, že některé vtipy se nedaly přeložit z anglického originálu ale i tak byla tam pěkná dávka ironie, jak má být. 

Celý koncept magického dobrodružství je výborný, a autorův smysl pro humor je unikátní a bezvadný.

Harry Potter but with Gothic horror, anarchic dark humour, delightfully non-age-appropriate violence and emos. Also there's skeletons and vampires and scythe guys and a dash of cosmic nightmare and fireballs and bullets and scary hands and vampires and bullets. Derek, you done good. 10/10 would recommend  to everyone

Fun, full of adventure and action. Found the characters a bit unbelievable (yes even though they’re all magical), more their personalities.

Not going to lie I read these books as a teen, and have decided to come back to them as a way to break up my current more "acceptably adult" reads. It is such a comfortable, exciting and nostalgic world to jump back into. It might mean my review is a little bias, but if you want cool characters, interesting plot and a well built world I would 100% recommend. It's magical realism with a modern twist. Sarcastic humour only found in Ireland and Northern cities like Liverpool.

This book was simply a delight to read!

The characters are so well done and unique, but the dialogue is the thing that makes it stand out to me. It's so witty and smart. I found myself laughing aloud many times!

The action is fast-paced, and the plot is intriguing with some twists without getting too complex. It kept me entertained from start to finish, and I can't wait to read the next in the series!
