Review: Excellent Sequel -- Hoping for More Soon!

I recently finished Alaska Fire, the first book in this series, and loved the mythic and often quirky characters. The sequel, Alaskan Fury, is even better.  Others here have given the plot and character outlines so there's no need to repeat that. I will admit right off that what attracted me was the word "Alaskan" in the title. Unlike some other writers I've attempted to read lately, Ms. King really does live there and makes the Bush come alive in the reader's mind. In addition, I'm a sucker for mythological creatures and worlds. Ms. King has done an impressive amount of research to bring alive not only the usual fantasy creatures -- werewolves, unicorns, dragons, etc. -- but some from other cultures -- djinni, Thunderbird, and Roman gods. She gives each character an unexpected, and often hilarious, personality of his/her own. I will conclude by saying that I borrowed this book from the Kindle Library, and read it all the way home on an 11-hour journey from northern Michigan to St. Louis. I do feel a bit guilty for not doing my share of the driving, but it was impossible to close the Kindle. I hope that you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
