Camden, North London: A tangled, mangled junction of train lines, roads, and waterways. Where minor celebrities hang out with minor criminals and where tourists and moody teenagers mingle.

In the heart of Camden, where rail meets road meets leyline, you might find the Arcana Emporium, run by one Alex Verus. He won't sell you a wand or mix you a potion, but if you know what you're looking for, he might just be able to help. That's if he's not too busy avoiding his would-be apprentice, foiling the Dark, outwitting the Light, and investigating a mysterious relic that has just turned up at the British Museum.

Fated is the first book in a major new series starring probability mage Alex Verus, for fans of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch.

Opinie krytyków

"Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-read list. Fated is an excellent novel, a gorgeously realized world with a uniquely powerful, vulnerable protagonist. Books this good remind me why I got into the storytelling business in the first place" (Jim Butcher)
"Filled with tense and compelling writing" ( SFX)
"Jacka writes a deft thrill-ride of an urban fantasy - a stay-up-all-night read. Alex Verus is a very smart man surviving in a very dangerous world." (Patricia Briggs)
"London's hidden wizardly community spell-blast each other entertainingly in this urban fantasy romp. Fated is highly enjoyable" ( Sun)
"Fated is an excellent example of not just great urban fantasy but also of brilliant story-telling. There is a near perfect mix of everything and it has been masterfully crafted with a meticulous eye for those pieces of humanity that make a great protagonist and a fantastic story" ( FANTASY FACTION)
"A novel with a very good plotline, and fascinating characters" ( BOOKCHICKCITY)

...und macht Lust auf die folgenden Bücher, die es hoffentlich bald bei Audible gibt!
Ein ähnliches Setting wie bei Harry Dresden (auf den Alex Verus sich einmal auch bezieht), eine nicht wahnsinnig spannende, aber unterhaltsame Geschichte, interessante Figuren - ich hoffe auf mehr!

Ein guter Anfang...

Really liked that booked, especially because of the characters and how they were presented. For all who liked Peter Grant stories.

Great characters and story

Loved the fantasy background and fast-paced story. While some women might not notice the sexism, it certainly grated with me.

Beware of mild spoilers:

The female characters are all of minor strength and/or importance to the male characters and always follow their orders or are very frequently very violently made to do so. Beware of rape allusions. Violence on women is described in excruciating detail and often drawn out. Violence on men is very rare and when it occurs it is frequently glossed over. While it is theoretically mentioned that men are also enslaved by dark wizards, the book only shows detailed enslavement of women. The female sidekick is over 20 and called "good girl" as a running gag. At one point she clamors it might be better to become a rape slave to a dark wizard and lose all free will than continue harming people accidentally with her bad luck curse...

Great plot with a hint of sexism

Great story and an excellent narrator - strong recommendation! The story kept us interested all the time, and the narrator was able to perfectly capture the different characters.

A thrilling audiobook
