I figured that I should give those of you unexposed to the Peter Grant series a taste of the dialog from one of the books:
Dominic stared at the werelight.
‘What the hell is that?’ he asked.
‘It’s a magic spell,’ I said, and Beverley snorted.
‘Show off,’ she said.
‘I said I was going to do magic,’ I said.
‘But .*.*.’ Dominic floundered around for a bit before pointing at me accusingly. ‘You said that there’s weird shit, but it normally turns out to have a rational explanation.’
‘It does,’ said Beverley. ‘The explanation is a wizard did it.’
‘That’s my line,’ I said, and Beverley shrugged.
‘You didn’t say anything about spells!’ said Dominic.
‘It’s just a werelight,’ I said.
It was like having our own personal streetlight, but beyond that bright circle the woods were a jumble of angular shadows – shifting uneasily as the yellow werelight bobbed and wavered in the breeze.
‘Can we at least start moving in the right direction?’ I said.
‘Jesus Christ,’ said Dominic, who was still having trouble. ‘Is there anything else I should know?’
‘We’re looking for an invisible unicorn and Bev here is the goddess of a small river in South London.’
