Saint City Sinners by Lilith Saintcrow

4.0

A wild ride with confusing bits at times due to so many different factions after Dante. Leaving the reader slightly confused, though, I think adds to the impact of the story, because for most of the novel Dante herself is very confused as to what exactly is going on, the WHY of everything. I find that in this case having the reader somewhat confused helps you get into Dante’s headspace.

This 4th installment of the Dante Valentine books is action-packed from beginning to end. Dante is constantly on the move, which leaves the story ever-developing. I loved that aspect of it. While Dante was away from Saint City, life back home kept moving forward for the better and the worse. The big question is how all this will impact Dante later. If she lives to see later, a question she has begun to often ask herself.

Urban fantasy that I plow through large sections of most times I pick it up. I’m always weary about futuristic novels, but the mysticism in this series compounded with the futuristic technology works well to me.
