Well, this time we don't have all the pain and suffering of books #2 and #3, which held my ratings down, so why only 3.5 stars again? Disappointment that throughout most of this story two of my favorite characters are incapacitated and out of play: Anyan the barghest who's turning into Jane's true love, and Nell the delightful two-foot gnome in charge of local supernaturals. Overall, this is a rewarding series, but it really, really needs to be read from the beginning. That one exception is a remarkable new character in a remarkable location, whom I really enjoyed getting to know & hope you will too. Īnd with only one exception all the active characters here are familiar ones from the previous book, so here's that review for a round-up of the characters and their supernatural species. There's a whole lot here that isn't going to make much sense if you haven't read the previous book, Tempest's Legacy.Īs I've done before, I'll refer you to my review of the series debut, Tempest Rising, for an explanation of our first-person narrator Jane True and the Old Sow, the real whirlpool between Maine and New Brunswick that becomes important in the present story. Even though there are numerous references to what's gone on before, this book is about as far from being a stand-alone as I've seen. Just like the first three books in this series, but for different reasons each time, 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Nonetheless, a great funny UF series which doesn't get enough credit but I hope more people - with the right sense of humor - will read. Peeler, how could two of your most experienced characters act in such an amateurish way? I'm hacking off half star because of the rather huge plot hole in the middle of the book. This book has been, so far, the very best in the series and I can't wait for the next book to come out - alas, next year. an action packed urban fantasy plot populated by all kinds of supernaturals obscure and not so obscure pop culture references incredibly funny and incredibly bad jokes (obviously complementarily) Then, if you think you might want your story peppered with: If you feel the corners of your mouth turning up by now, the Jane True Series might be just the thing for you. a former porn star turned lesbian heiress socialite a kelpie named Trill who turns into a pony a powerful gnome who always carries her rocking chair with her an attractive shapeshifter with a rather canine sense of fashion
