Review of 'Future indefinite' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

"It was most fortuitously, was it not, that I was given assignment on the advance team to this campsite and were thus identifying you?"

I love Dommie, he's been great the whole series through. What an enjoyable series it has been, as well. A thrilling take on magic and a most delightful way of weaving two worlds together. The ending was a little predictable, but it didn't suffer from that fact. The anticipation and curiosity for the details coupled with the breathtakingly vivid characters make that small issue a complete zero.
