I'm clearly under Shadowrun's spell right now and I had admittedly low expectations for this sci-fantasy tie-in from 1990, but it was surprisingly solid genre fiction that fully embraces its setting without feeling like a lazy novelization. Compelling characters, intricate plotting, and a nuanced moral code combine for a fun page-turner I made a rare exception for: taking a few daytime hours to finish reading. 😍
