Probably would have been a higher rating if I hadn't read it this close to my mother's death.
I was so delighted falling back into this series after a long break since I enjoy the idea behind them and most of the character but there is such utter sadness buried within.
Sumi is terrifying and delightful in this book.
Jack is falling apart (not literally) and my heart hurts for her.
Alexis is cool as hell.
I had hoped there would be more than the briefest mention of Christopher & Cade, but perhaps they'll get the own stories yet.
As a side note, Seanan pronounces a few words very differently than I have heard them before.
