Atoned by Steve McHugh was one fantastic read!
It's SciFi, but it felt as close up and fast as an urban fantasy. I loved the banter and bickering, and as always the amazing friendships and loyalties. This, and the very organic, diverse cast is one of the major draws of McHugh's books, and they only get better! I especially loved the android Brokk, as I was always drawn to the non human characters.
I enjoyed how there was a bit of an overlap with his previous book Blackcoat, without having to read the other one to get the full experience. Just a nice little easter egg sort of thing.
The plot is action heavy and the pace is quick. Once you start to read, you really can't stop, so I more or less inhaled this whole book in one go!
