Magic has been franchised. Magical conveniences are sold everywhere like designer coffee. Everyday life is filled with technical and magical wonders. Only, the magic is murdering people.
Thoth Corp's hot new spell is turning people into ravening monsters. Their only hope to quietly rectify the situation before the epidemic spreads is the spell architect they framed and sent to prison.
El's response to his former partners wasn't polite.
Homeless, forbidden to use government-regulated magic, and barely surviving out of dumpsters, Eli struggles to rebuild his life. Fairytale rats thought long extinct with the rest of the fey rescue Eli from murderous vigilantes, but at a cost. They force him to save fairy matrons stolen away by Thoth's monsters, thrusting Eli between his old company and a shadow war waged against humanity.
To stop the war, cure Thoth's victims, and rescue the city, Eli need only find some way to make magic out of trash.

This was an amazing read. The author connects us with the characters and the performance by the narrator was perfect.
I look forward to seeing more books by this author.

This is an interesting story about a man who feels betrayed by society because of his skin color and abandoned by God when all he tries to do is help.
I'd love to see this story develop more and where it goes.
It's an interesting start to a series.

I was a little worried when I started this one, the Narrator took a couple of chapters to really hit his stride with the characters. Once he did and the story got going this was great.
It's a pretty standard wronged underdog VS major power doing a bad thing plot, but I particularly enjoyed this telling of it. The main character loses his place in society and gets dragged around, by his sense of duty, saving the world. The author does a great job with some background world-building, there's a whole hidden world under the surface of this one, which leaves a lot of space for the continued story. The only real issue I had with the book was the cliff-hanger, it comes across as cutting off mid-sentence. It's not a world ending thing but left me more annoyed than curious about the next book.
Overall, it's a fun, gritty, R-rated (for violence), story that will keep you wondering what will come next. I'm looking forward to the next book and will probably pick it up once it comes to audible.
Started a bit rough but hit an awesome stride

This book will take you on a wild ride with many unique characters and magical creatures on Eli’s quest to fix his spell along with helping his friends along the way! I really enjoyed the narrator, David S. Dear, he did a very good job of bringing the characters alive and made sure to make it easy for us to discern each character by giving each one their own quirk or accent with his voice! It felt like listening to a full cast audio book. If you are looking for a good book filled with lots of magic and magical creatures then this is the book for you!
Really interesting book with amazing magical creatures!

This book has been so refreshing! The MC is an older black man. That right away got my attention and made me realize how non-diverse this genre is. The magic system is maybe a little underdeveloped within the story in that I never felt like I really understood it, and it seemed not to follow the same rules all the time. That was ok though, because really this story breaks a lot of conventions in a super good way. Really fun!

This was an intersting urban fantasy story. I loved how the author's magic system works and how magic was woven into a modern world we are familiar with. The narration was a little rocky at first but he quickly finds his groove and does a great job the rest of the book. The world-building and character development is very well done. All in all, this is a new series I would definitely want to continue.
A great start

Eventually he gets sucked into conflict and has to rely on his knowledge of spells and being an actual magus to reluctantly figure things out and try to save the day from spells gone wrong. Also there's a reason it's called Dumpstermancer and that's pretty cool in my book.
The characters are great and entertaining with interesting personalities and in most cases some wrinkles to who they are that are not obvious on first glance and the narrator does a great job bringing this ensemble to life.
I received the review code for this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review.
