review:
'Finn Fancy Necromancer' by Randy Henderson is a fun book. At least the part I got to read. My review copy was only the first 99 pages

Finn Gramaraye is from a family of wizards that live in Port Townsend, Washington. He was framed for a crime he didn't commit and put into stasis back in the 1980s, but his body is free to continue aging and collecting memories until he can reclaim it upon his release. The book opens with him getting out of wizard prison and going to collect his body. The only problem is that his memories are lost, and there is the small matter of a dead body to deal with. His homelife is dysfunctional, and his best friend doesn't know what happened to him, just that he disappeared with no word. Can he solve the murder to keep himself from getting locked up again, fix his broken family and friendship, and stop making pop-culture references from the 1980s?

I hope not the latter. My review copy ended with Finn trying to evade some sasquatches, but I feel certain that it was on track to be a good read. I liked the characters and their quirkiness. I liked the Pacific NW setting (after all, I live there), and I liked the out of joint 1980s references to things. Finn is a likeable character, and at some point, I'd like to find a complete copy and find out what happens.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Macmillan-Tor/Forge and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
