Griffin, Kate -- The Midnight Mayor
More hijinks for the London sorcerer with pronoun problems. I continue
to get a kick out of this series. I wasn't sure at first; the author's
writing technique is the prose equivalent of a car chase through a
shopping mall stocked entirely with brass bands and fireworks. For 550
pages. And yet it works. The monsters are terrifying, the allies are
terrifying, the magic feels right under your skin, and Matthew -- who
is just beginning to get a handle on being the blue electric angels --
gets the ever-lovin' shit kicked out of him. He also, it seems, gets a
job offer or two. I want the third book.
