In the most dangerous district in the city, Rem and Torval have been perfecting their good cop, bad cop routine while protecting residents from the likes of drug-dealing orcs and mind-controlling elves.

First Watch is a thrilling adventure, it's a buddy action movie masquerading as a fantasy book and I found it to be an awesome read

A brilliant premise, wonderfully told. A city that breathes, and heroes you can't help but root for
the perfect summer read . . . I really, really enjoyed this book
I could have read this story for eternity, the characters and world building are that good . . . Every scene is brought to life with blazing imagery that is tied to constant movement. The characterization is superb and continues to surprise as events unfold
