Storm in a Teacup by Emmie Mears
4.0
It is not the fault of this novel that I took so darned long to finish it. But it is to its credit that I did. I had to know what happened, despite distractions and medical changes pulling me away. I ditched three other novels in the seven months since I started this one. But I couldn't do that with this one. I had to know.
The protagonist is a snarky isolated killer (of demons), and I loved her. The plot did slow a time or two, and my state of mind allowed me to set it aside (metaphorically as I read ebooks) and read and write other things. But I kept returning, and that is the key. I had to know how this played out. And I was well rewarded; the climax is such that I could not tell what would happen, and the end sets up the sequel nicely if a little heart-breakingly. It's a solid and well-plotted fantasy. If you like smartass protagonists, you'll enjoy this.
