In the interest of full disclosure I have to admit that I struggle with Urban Fantasy as a genre (which surprises me - because I obviously love Fantasy), so you should take my rating of three stars with a grain of salt.

This book takes of just after the last book ended - the Chequey and the Grafters trying to form an alliance. This process is complicated by the fact that both organisations are indoctrinated to hate the other - which makes sense from an in-story-perspective but still got annoying for me after a while (I mean come on - you have modifications all over your body but the powers the other side has are creepy and vice versa?!). We mainly follow two protagonists - one from every side - and while I missed Myffanwy, I did really like those two women - especially Felicity - and their growing relationship was wonderful to watch.

Overall, I did enjoy this book - I just felt it was disjointed in parts. With this I don't even mean the info dump that everybody complains about - because I happen to really like the world O'Malley created and thus do not mind the info dump at all - I mean that parts of this seem unneccessary and I didn't always understand the decision to include them (such as the crystal serial killer).

But still, the book is a lot of fun, O'Malley creates a vivid and original world and he obviously has as much fun writing these books as his readers have reading them. I am keeping my fingers crossed for this series to continue because when O'Malley gets it right, he gets it brilliantly right. The parts of the book I enjoyed, I really enjoyed.
