The personal preference things:
I'm not a huge first person reader already, but this has a very old fashioned, wordy first person style. Like everything is elaborated on in depth. We get the main character's take on EVERYTHING, and for me, the style was not something I really preferred, though I can see someone who craves a more classic style being really into it.

This is a fun, fast-paced buddy comedy/urban fantasy mash up that feels a bit like a throwback. The magical system is fun and the phoenix nature of the lead (well, one of the leads) causes some original scenarios where dying really is the best option.
