In this third book, Owl
is still a disgruntled, dismayed, frequently clueless, misunderstood and disgraced
anthropologist. She is an antiquities thief
who can’t seem to avoid tripping over dangerous supernaturals. Owl is still working for a dragon, Mr.
Kurosawa and his aide Lady Siyu. Alix
seems a little less clueless in this book but still ends up in serious
trouble. The bulk of the plot is centered
around dealing with the Electric Samurai.
The author does a
nice job setting the stage and introducing the protagonist as a bright,
talented, strong and impulsive character.
Luckily she has some level headed friends who bail her out of most of
the jams she initiates. Rynn, incubus, is still on again and off again
as Alix’s boyfriend. Captain, her
Egyptian Mau cat proves that cats actually help with thievery. A hapless elf and the creators of a RPG also
play a part in this story.
Owl seems to gather
enemies like a dog boarded in a kennel gathers fleas. They seem to reproduce geometrically. She and Rynn are battling mercenaries as
well as IAA thugs. Tombs and traps play
a part in this book as well.
I enjoyed the
character and the book.
