Lets call this a review of the first two books. They're both set in the same interesting world and have similar strengths. The major plot points are the tension between "normal" human beings and "Xenofreaks," people who have animal characteristics grafted on them -- mostly, it seems, as an act Olof rebellion against society. It's a concept I haven't seen before,, and I read a lot of sf. (It also makes me slightly squeamish, which made me put off the reading the second book for a couple of months. The other theme is a fight for a cure for a genetically altered typhoid virus, which grows in importance (to widespread violence) in the second book. The characters are unique with strengths and flaws, though the lead female seems a little too good.I'll keep reading as long as she keeps writing.
