review 1: The Necessity doom has finally landed, squarely at Ravirn's feet, it all looks kind of horrific from his point of view. But he and companions handle things with the usual amount of dedication and wry humour. Ravirn's self awareness reaches a pinacle here that always breaks my heart a little, and makes me laugh too. Everything ties of neatly for this story arc, though not without significant cost to the characters that we know and love by now. The ending to Ravirn's story is epic, and well worth reading.
review 2: Just terrific, smart, funny sci-fi/fantasy adventure. The characters don't always do as expected, make mistakes, and have a lot of heart. The way the author makes his crazy combo of hacker technology concepts and traditional mythology tales come togeth... moreer is always creative and interesting, very clever. The traditional pull between chaos and order in the stories adds another level of thoughtfulness. And Ravirn's heritage through the lines of Fate and Slapstick keep the laughs coming. All that being said, it really is the characters' hearts that holds it all together. The love in the friendships is genuine and touching. The Fury's love for their mother is true. Ravirn's admiration for Persephone is sweet and gentle. Even his relationship with his ex rings true with anger, regret and tenderness. Through all of the exciting adventure, near-death (and sometimes actually death) experiences, bad jokes, ironic humor, hacking and cracking, all enjoyable features, it's the genuine warmth that I remember most. Ravirn is that classic reluctant hero, pulled from childhood into responsibility, and despite his fears and reservations, he really tries to do the right thing. Watching how he, as a clever but snarky kid and as a chaos power, does it is always entertaining. less
