Wrath of the Fury Blade Volume 1
«(5 Star Review) "In Wrath of the Fury Blade (A Constable Inspector Lunaria Adventure) by Geoff Habiger and Coy Kissee, Constable Inspector Reva Lunaria from The Royal Tenyl Constabulary is trying to enjoy her day off when she is urgently summoned by her superior. First Magistrate Lavalé fey Avecath, the King's foreign advisor, was gruesomely murdered. It's a difficult task, especially when the Sucra - the King's secret police and the Constabulary's rival - is also working on the case. She also has to get used working with a new partner, Seeker Ansee Carya. When more prominent figures are killed in a short space of time, Reva and Ansee know they must act quickly to stop the murderer. It's a crime story in the elven world. The spells and magical items that the characters use are constant reminders that this tale is set in a fantasy realm, although focusing on a couple of police detectives trying to catch a killer while dealing with red tape, some conflict in the office, and addiction. The world-building has enough detail and specificity that makes it believable, particularly when the system, social issues and struggles reflect the ones we have in our society. The plot is moderately paced in which the characters are given enough room and time to establish themselves for readers to relate to them. They also have enough time to interact with one another with good dialogue that is not laden with medieval language, something for which I'm most appreciative. These set a solid foundation and backstory that steadily build into the bigger events. The tenacious Reva is easily likable, despite her flaws, but I gravitated more towards Ansee Carya. His perseverance and sense of justice proved his worth as a Seeker and showed his strength of character. Overall, Wrath of the Fury Blade is an engaging crime fantasy read interspersed with conspiracies, a secret order, and suspenseful moments. I truly enjoyed it." Readers' Favorite»

"A killer targets high-ranking victims in a society of elves obsessed with genetic purity. On the world of Ados, in the elven city of Tenyl, Constable Inspector Reva Lunaria tries to enjoy her day off. She's summoned, however, to the office of First Constable Aescel for an assignment to an important case. First Magistrate Lavalé fey Avecath has been murdered, cleaved clean in half one night in his study. With her longtime partner recently transferred, veteran Reva must work with the inexperienced Ansee Carya, who as a Seeker can investigate any magic used at the crime scene. At the First Magistrate's study, the two encounter Green Cloaksor the Sucrawho act as King Aeonis' secret police. Inquisitor Ailan Malvaceä orders that all documents be collected from the study, which infuriates Reva. In turn, she graciously allows the Sucra to witness a Speaking, during which the corpse is magically induced to offer verbal clues about the murder. In this way, the investigators learn that a black blade committed the deed. At the scene of a second killingthis time Lady Tala Ochroma, the king's treasurera healer refuses to save the life of a collaterally injured halpbloed (half-blood). Ansee loses his temper and strikes the elf, revealing the extent to which bigotry divides the citizens of Tenyl. In this marriage of fantasy and procedural thriller, the team of Habiger and Kissee (Unremarkable, 2018) gives fans of both genres a master class in worldbuilding. Everything from idioms ("But tread carefully, Inspector. You are on a narrow branch here") to fascist racial doctrines mesh in a narrative that pulses with innovation on every page. While much of the emotional heft comes in comparing King Aeonis' purity laws to those wielded by the Nazis, personal demons also haunt the characters in this series opener. Reva finds herself addicted to the stimulant Wake, and the halpbloed Cedres Vanda desperately wants to reunite with his family, despite his wife's disgust for him. A wider conspiracy puts the kingdom at risk, and the charming, flawed protagonists prove themselves a winning combo worth visiting again. This rich fusion of crime and fantasy should enchant readers." Kirkus Reviews
