Codename: Night Witch by Cary Caffrey
3.0
The third chapter in the feminist action series that is the "Girls from Alcyone" set of books. It's definitely more promising than the others, but in strange ways it fails to deliver completely.
The story remains good and readable, with the exception of some confusing fight/battle scenes. I am unsure I really understood what the author really meant. There are some sequences that are fuzzy, but other than that I think the story is quite good.
About the "feminist" side of things, all I can say is that it didn't bother me one beet - there are some obvious things like all the positive characters are women and the few that are evil are not to be blamed. The bias is there, but it doesn't bother me one bit.
It's definitely worth reading, as a series. With small exception the writing is quite well suited, and the pacing is equally good. I wonder why the series is not a movie yet. It feels very cinematic at times, and the author obviously got some inspiration from action movies.
