If I were to review this book at only half way through it, my rating would have been lower. The story moves along in the series and the situations are different, but it very much had the feel of the same old, same old. But then I started noticing a difference. The characters introduced to us in New Orleans became more interesting, as did how Sabina sees both Adam and Giguhl. And with her new insight, the conversations have more meaning and everything seemed to grow, including Sabina.In this story the gang is trying to find Sabina's twin Maisie, kidnapped by their world-dominating-goaled grandmother and a tip from an unexpected source leads them to New Orleans. And we learn that grandma-dearest isn't in the biggest threat that they face.The story really started grabbing me about halfway through it. Expect a great deal of action and emotions. And the way is opened up for a new directions.
An action-packed story with a nice mix of emotional developments and personal insight, not to mention the right dose of N'awlins drag queens and beignets - made me want to go back for a visit (particularly since that's exactly where my sister is at the moment!). I'm quite enjoying this series - it doesn't rank as highly as Seanan McGuire's October Daye series or Rob Thurman's Leandros books, but it has it's moments. Still really like that Sabina's not a pure lily and morality is still something she has difficulty with. Keeping the series on my TBR pile.
These books keep getting better and better!
