Kazimir Wolfe remains on the run from both the law and an ancient order trying to kill him, but staying hidden is becoming harder and harder as his group of traveling companions continues to grow. It started with Duke the talking golden retriever, who's mind is inhabited by an ancient wizard, and then added on two knights that were sent forward through time to protect him. Then a wise cracking djinn was added, who does nothing but insult Kaz all the time for being stupid, and finally the grumpy 30 pound cat from the Nether, known as Mr Boots. As stated in book one, this urban fantasy doesn't take itself too seriously, and now that The Order has successfully opened a portal to the Nether, Kaz and his group of misfits must figure out how to close it. And then, of course, deal with the creatures that came through before the entire world realizes that magic is real. The dragon might have something to say about that though.
As the only wizard in our world, Kaz knows it is up to him to deal with this problem before reports of a dragon flying in the skies of Ohio can take the internet by storm. Of course, he has no idea how to kill a dragon, but the first problem he has is finding it. The story moves along well, and I am enjoying this series so far, but there are times where the dialogue between the various members of this band of misfits get rather old. Learning about how magic works along with Kaz keeps me engaged, but the repetitive nature of the interactions between Kaz and the dog and the djinn makes me consider moving on from the series. I bailed on Alanson's Expeditionary Force series after 3 books for a similar reason, so it is unclear to me how long I will stick with this one, but for now I will be moving on to book 3.
R. C. Bray is the narrator of the audiobook version and he is likely part of the reason I am sticking with the series, he just makes everything better.
