I like this series. I love how you never know whats going on and you can feel the society of the city at large behind all of the politics. I like Wren and how her relationship with Sergi isn't perfect. I also enjoy how the author ties things together really well bringing places and feelings from other books back into play and characters who appear small into larger roles. It is a master piece of art just like all her other books but the little stories in each separate novel are enough to keep you interested. My favorite part is when Sergi nods to the pixie in the park after talking to Andre, it was just so powerful in so many ways.

The overall plot arch is really beginning to thicken! Wren is in over her head with nowhere to go but with the current (pun-intentional) and do what it is she does best. I'm really curious to see where this series is going and what is going to put the kibosh on KimAnn. I'm not entirely sure what she's got up her sleeve, but it can't be anything good.
The retrieval in this book was almost too easy for Wren and she nearly failed, which is a first so far. I'm glad to see that she isn't perfect. Too much perfection and the character gets boring. There's no thrill to read. The retrievals are starting to take a back seat to the overall plot and while I was slightly disappointed in that, adding in anything more would have made the book too huge and too much to follow in one chunk. Gilman did an excellent job staying to task despite so much going on. Bravo!
My only complaints in this book was the snippets at the ends of the chapters leading into the next and the reptition. I think, from a perspective of flow, it would be better if the snippets were included in the next chapter and simply removed from the end of the previous. Minor complaint, I know. Since I've been reading the entire series back to back, the repetition is a little annoying, but it can't be helped. If I was coming in as they were being published, that reminder would be refreshing.
All in all, a good read. I'm looking forward to getting into the next book!
