The October Man / Ben Aaronovitch

 

4 out of 5 stars

Do you ever wonder if there are still German practitioners of magic and, if so, what they are up to? Well, wonder no longer. Meet Tobias Winter, apprentice, and follow along as he pursues a case. Of course his assigned local officer is Vanessa Sommer. Winter and Sommer, which makes the local river goddess snicker.

Tobias is not nearly as chaotic as Peter was in the beginning. He proceeds with caution, tries to be very polite (but firm) with the special folk that he encounters, and keeps his partner in the loop. He certainly knows about Peter and his reputation, especially for Peter's enthusiasm for trying to scientifically measure magical phenomena.

I would definitely be willing to read more about Tobias and I suspect that further adventures of Vanessa are probable too. And wouldn't it be fun if they could meet up with Peter and Nightingale someday?
