Ink & Sigil by Kevin HearneMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I didn't realize until very recently, while visiting Barnes & Noble, that Kevin Hearne had written a new spinoff series from the world of The Iron Druid Chronicles, and that it was a complete trilogy centered on Glaswegian mage Al MacBharrais, who's had a few curses on his heid and that in recent years. He can't speak without triggering an intense hatred from other people (thankfully this effect only comes about if he's in their presence for a short while, not instantaneously, though he still needs to rely on writing out his words or using text-to-speech programs that never have Glaswegian voices to choose from), and his apprentices have all been dying mysterious deaths, with the seventh in a row now the subject of a police investigation. It's a pretty quick and easy read just like the Iron Druid novels that came before it, and I've already got the remaining two books on my shelf ready to read very soon.
