Entertaining and Smart
Her world is engaging and unexpected ... consider it the Harry Potter series told from the perspective of the magic teachers. This makes this novel a great read for adults and also a fresh perspective on the whole wizardry thing. Highly recommended!"I was delighted to come across this wry, inventive fantasy... Anyone who's spent time at a university will recognize the place...
I'd recommend this to anyone who appreciates academic life, spells, counter-spells, supernatural battles, and the charms of discourse.
... a much more interesting take on demonology than the more traditional realm-of-hell version...definitely recommended
A tenure-track position is a wonderful thing -- even when it comes with demons.
