A much more enjoyable sequel to Nylon Angel. de Pierres seems to have found her groove here. The narrative flows easier, although there are some passages that are difficult to read. Compared to Nylon Angel, however, Code Noir reads at a calmer pace, that works well and doesn't leave the reader so baffled and breathless at the end.
Parrish Plessis grows through this book. While continuing to battle the Eskaalim that is getting more strength inside of her, she ventures into Dis and the Mo-Vay that live there. The language is rich when describing her venture into the unknown area. Although it is repeatedly said that Plessis doesn't care much for her appearance, I did find it very interesting when she struggles to accept an accident that befalls her towards the end of the book.
Although one should definitely read Nylon Angel before starting this one, it is a lot easier to read, particular once the reader gets grasp on the world, the language usage, and an idea on the people who live there. Highly recommended.

Some time has passed since the end of book 1, [b:Nylon Angel|644987|Nylon Angel (Parrish Plessis, #1)|Marianne de Pierres|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388542642l/644987._SY75_.jpg|631149], and Parrish Plessis has spent time recovering from her injuries. But her respite is over as there's a price on her. Plus, the Cabal also wanted her to find their missing shamans. There are so many things Parrish does not know but she thinks it's better to be in middle of it all than hiding away and then taken unawares.
I liked this world despite its harshness and even as I struggled with the technical jargons, it wasn't that difficult as you can really get by with a little extra assumptions of your own. But what I really found appealing is Parrish Plessis' character; her touch chick exterior with her big tender heart inside. I really can't wait to find out what the author has in store for Parrish in the next & final book of the trilogy.
