They need to be aware of what they will run across and this book is an excellent example. I probably will continue reading the series because I have more of it, but I wouldn't seek it out and if I ran across it I wouldn't get it. (  ) Wanda-Gambling | May 9, 2020 | The details of life as a vicar were so believable that I wasn't surprised that the author is a priest in a small church in England. The day-to-day drudgery of committee meetings contrasted wonderfully against the vicar's encounters with creatures of myth and fantasy. What a joy to enter this lively, enchanting story world. Gotta go. I'm off to buy the rest of the series! (  ) JoniMFisher | Sep 19, 2019 | ) cecilywolfe | Jan 4, 2018 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. Parallel worlds, dragons and an English vicar...oh my!

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Penny White (book 1)
Bishop Nigel smiled at me. 'Holy water doesn't harm vampires. Which is just as well, as it would make it impossible to baptise them.' When I was asked by a dragon to give him the last rites, I never dreamed it would lead to negotiating with his cannibalistic family or running from snail sharks. Life as the priest of a small English village is quite tame in comparison. At least I have Morey, a gryphon with sarcasm management issues, to help me. And if all else fails, there's always red wine and single malt whisky. As if my life weren't complicated enough, a darkly beautiful dragon named Raven keeps appearing where I least expect him, I've met a handsome police inspector who loves science fiction as much as I do, and my younger brother is getting into trouble for trying to pick up vampires. That's what happens when you're dealing with an incredible and dangerous parallel world full of mythical creatures. And I have to learn to navigate it all without losing myself, or my brother...

This is a very interesting story with a different spin on urban fantasy. A female vicar (Church of England, I guess) ministers to people and creatures. There is a large amount of religious discussion, some that made me want to grab a bible and check for unicorns - that's how good the writing was. Very complex characters and intriguing interactions.
The only quibble: the central mystery is only partially solved.
If you a rabidly atheist or staunchly against any hint of scripture in your fantasy, don't read this.
It's not proselytizing, though. It's more looking through the day to day life of a small church preacher. (
