This book was different. Kitty, for the first time, annoyed me somewhat. In the tunnels, her take-charge, without thinking through her actions decisions made me want to bang my head into the wall. But thankfully that was a relatively minor part of the book.

I really liked the further world-building that went on, and the implications that all those stories of beings out there are more than just stories. And I am extremely intrigued about how Vaughn is going to wrap up The Long Game. ( )

It took me a while to get interested in this Kitty Norville adventure. I think I had to read about a third of the book before I stopped having an attitude about it. Once the monkey business in Chinatown got under way, I enjoyed the book more, and the bits of Chinese mythology she brought into the story were fun. I'm tired of Roman, though, and the "long game". For such a big bad scary dude, he sure walks away from fights pretty easily. I hope he's not the built-in baddie for much longer.

I've had my ups and downs with this series, but I'm still invested in the characters enough to see what happens next. I'll eventually pick up the next one. ( )

Nice little caper, with new allies and old villains. While the world keeps getting bigger and stranger, I like that Kitty doesn't really power up, she just gets more friends. ( )

This is #9?! Crumbs, I thought it was #2. I'll have to pick another one to start with.

Fun less-fluff-all-the-time - really liked this one. ( )
