3 1/2 stars. Good second book in series. Can't wait to find out what happens to Dr. Sili and his crew in the next installment.

I really wanted to like this book. However, the characters were caricatures.. The mystery was a cop out with an eleventh hour evil-doer conveniently showing up. There's animal sacrifice and a lot of out of place spiritual / shamanistic stuff. I don't see myself returning to the series sadly.

This series is interesting, not least because it introduces American readers to an unfamiliar culture. The characters are well-written.
