The Iron Jackal by Chris Wooding

5.0

A continuing example of how to make an entire book series excellent. Throughout we learn a little bit more about the crew as our heroes try to cure Captain Frey of an ancient daemonic curse. Serious secrets come to light about the Awakeners (the major religious group in this fictional world), and the Ketty Jay acquires a new crew member. Lots of intense gunplay, a little more backstory for the crew, and the Captain does his best (which isn't great) at leading his crew wisely and making smart decisions. Overall pretty great, the characters feel fleshed out, especially Silo, who had been more in the background for the first two books.
