\"\"<\/a>First and foremost, this is a boinking book. There is less boinking than in the last book, and the boinking actually wasn’t superfluous but was instead important to the course of the story, but still. Boinking. So be aware.<\/p>\n

Jane True is back in Rockabill, trying to recover from the events in Boston, as well as the separation from Ryu, her loving but possessive and demanding lover. Unfortunately, events quickly turn ugly, and Jane’s life is once again turned upside down, as they search for evidence to tie Jarl to a series of horrific laboratories where terrible experiments are performed on halfling (and some purebred) women.<\/p>\n

I really like Jane True. I like her outlook on life, her honesty with herself, hell, I even like her discussions with her libido. But most of all I like that although she makes mistakes–and stupid ones at that–she is NOT too stupid to live, and sees her job as to extricate herself from problems and to help others rather than seeing herself as needing saved.<\/p>\n

I also like the fact that Jane continues to address the events of the previous book, when Bad Things happened. She doesn’t obsess, and she doesn’t feel sorry for herself, but she does recognize that deal with Bad Things is not instantaneous, and requires work on her part. I think that is one of few–if not first–times we see an honest look at the fact that when bad things happen to someone, those events don’t just disappear from the psyche.<\/p>\n

Although you could start the story here, I’d recommend beginning at book one and moving forward.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I love these covers.
