This night I had a problem to solve: to read this book till the end or to sleep. And I thought: hell, why do I need sleep when I'm on a date with Peter Grant <3 
 The idea to present an ordinary human, who reveals super powers in himself, is not quite new, but in "Rivers of London", the plot, the setting, and the main characters are new and interesting to me and they definitely helped me to have an extremely fun reading experience. 
 Ben Aaronovitch surprised me with a wise plot, because I found a mix of professional police stuff, touch of magic and the main character, whose role is to be a good detective, good magician apprentice and good diplomat while staying sane and professional. I was intrigued to find mysteries and horrible crimes in the story about London, moreover the answer to the mystery and the identity of the killer is gripping. I loved that the mystery involved mythology of the Rivers of London as persons- Mother Thames, Father Thames and their daughters and sons like smaller rivers and of course there was theatre involved. 
 I admired how Mr. Aaronovitch entwined crimes and the story of London into the setting. "Rivers of London" is full of so called British fun and interesting stuff, I enjoyed the humor especially. 
 If I eat these, you're not going to expect an obligation, are you?' asked Beverley. 
 'Don't worry about it,' I said. 'I have an air freshener in the bag.' 
 'I'm serious,' said Beverley. 'There's a geezer at my mum's flats who turned up to repossess some furniture in 1997. One cup of tea and a biscuit later, and he's never left. I used to call him Uncle Bailiff. He does odd jobs around the place, fixes stuff and keeps the place clean and my mother will never let him go.' Beverley jabbed me in the chest with her finger. 'So I want to know what your intentions are with this sandwich.' 
 'I assure you, my intentions are honourable,' I said... 
 The main character, Peter, tells the story from the Londoner, cop, immigrant and magician point of view. He clearly speaks on behalf of variety and difference of the immigrants in UK, as he himself is of mixed nationality. He questions everything and everybody, from police to magic. 
 And the lack of answers inspires him to grow as a character. Everything has its price. I liked that he has disadvantages, that means he is human. It was interesting, funny and sometimes ironic to read about his relationships with women and his efforts to find a way in life. 
 Sometimes I wonder whether, if I'd been the one that went for coffee and not Lesley May, my life would have been much less interesting and certainly much less dangerous. Could it have been anyone, or was it destiny? When I'm considering this I find it helpful to quote the wisdom of my father, who once told me,' who knows why the fuck anything happens? 
 I liked the "Folly" team a lot. 
 The witcher 
 and the creepy maid 
 I think the little yappy Toby is awesome too. He's mean but lovely. After all he is a part of the ghost-hunting-kicking-monster-ass team. 
 They definitely added spices to the story. 
 I'm eager to continue my relationship with Peter Grant and the "Rivers of London". 
 P.S. I just loved the cover, it's so unique and it definitely represents the tasty candy what is wrapped inside. Enjoy ;)
