I know it is a classic, but i could not get into Holden's character because of his sporadic thoughts. I say read this because it is a classic, but don't expect what everyone says you should.

Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy With it’s gorgeous cover art from Cliff Nielsen, and a sultry sounding description featuring a fledgling wizard in post Katrina New Orleans, ROYAL STREET was one of my Top 12 most anticipated releases for 2012. Unfortunately, it ended up coming in short of my expectations on just about every level. It’s a little like a mix between The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, except not as clever as the former nor as sexy as the latter. The worldbuilding was the real strength of ROYAL STREET, with a fascinating bureaucracy of Wizards governing all the preternatural creatures worldwide and policing the beings who crossover from the Beyond (like sexy, violent pirates who sadly didn’t get anywhere near enough page time), and a really intriguing idea to play off the Hurricane that devastated New Orleans in 2005. Wonderfully realistic and perhaps unknown details are woven throughout ROYAL STREET to convey a high level of authenticity to the setting that I thoroughly enjoyed. Aside from the setting and worldbuilding, there were too many apathetic elements in ROYAL STREET to win me over. The beginning was a bit slow, and unfortunately DJ’s voice rang a tad immature and a little too antagonistic (without legitimate reasons) towards the guys in her life. The plot also never really grabbed me and I had to fight the urge to skim constantly. There weren’t any obvious pitfalls that I can point to, but there weren’t any real high points either. Scenes and setups that could have gone in extremely fun and entertaining directions never did. For example the game of Truth or Dare between DJ, her new partner Alex, and his ex-marine cousin Jake started out promising some juicy revelations, but then just ended. It felt like a tease. Similarly, DJ and Alex have to pretend to be a couple at one point (which I was hoping would lead to Alex taking advantage of the situation, or maybe DJ getting a little too caught up in her role etc.), but again, nothing really came of it. These aren’t criticisms per say, but they are indicative of my overall underwhelming impression of the book. To be clear, ROYAL STREET isn’t a bad read, and there will be plenty of readers who enjoy it (see ‘Also Reviewed By’ section below). It’s just not as good as it could have been. The worldbuilding was very creative and the time period/setting was tactfully handled and perfectly suited to the urban fantasy genre. But DJ was a little too immature and lacked a strong voice, the romantic entanglements/love triangle was devoid of excitement, and the overall plot was on the staid side. Hopefully, those issues will improve in the next Sentinels of New Orleans novel titled RIVER ROAD when it’s published in Fall 2012. Sexual Content: Kissing

I love the irony in this book. Everytime I even look at the book, I chuckle to myself. The read is short and easy to understand for those interested in the classics.
Denton's first novel is an excellent science fiction story, as well as a terrific rock and roll novel. Though it's been all but forgotten after the critical attention his later works attracted, it's still worth searching out. It resonates with a sort of frantic energy, exuberant pacing, passionate emotion, and even occasional charming awkwardness that's the hallmark of the best rock music. Tycho rocks. Frag Houston.
The only problem with this novel was that it ended. I wanted 50 more pages, 100, 150, forever. It was fantastic. Not only is it my new favorite Kearsley work (beating "The Rose Garden" by a small margin) but it top the list for my favorite novel ever. The way Kearsley writes, the Gothic feel mixed with historical elements and the butterflies in your stomach love stories; make me want to move to Scotland or wherever her story is set and live the life she sets up. In "Shadowy Horses" I found Verity relate-able with what I hope are similar qualities that we share and the arrangement of supporting characters were loveable and flushed out brilliantly. A winning novel.

Amusing in places, but only places. Feels unfinished.

This book was awesome! It wasn't what I expected at all, it was so much better. It is somewhat religious but not in a preachy way. My niece read it before me and she isn't very religious. She loved it too. It will really make you think and look at some things differently. There was a small part in the middle that was slow and I put it down for a while. I was so glad I picked it back up! I gave it to my daughter to read and she read it in less than 2 days! She coouldn'tput it down. :o)
