This book is a great book. It had me and I thought I knew it, but it got me and I was slightly surprised. Kudos to them.
The pacing was a little slow at the start, but halfway through I lost the ability to put it down.
I would describe the world as Dresden Files on steroids (i.e. more blood, more magic, more sexual tension). The protagonist, Kate, is a merc with a big sword in a world that is both seamlessly melded with magic and starkly opposed to it. Love her. The world is well thought through ...more
