Review: a solid 4 star book! interesting, fairly light urban fantasy

This  turned out to be a very nice surprise. The world build of an alternative current earth was done creatively and generally very naturally as the story progressed. The main character, Michelle, is a non clan bound witch in a world full of mystical characters. Humans are a small part of a largely integrated population. I quite liked the main character, who at 25 is quite young but thoughtful. This book was well edited, and had some violence, but not a huge amount. I cannot give it a five for the following reasons: the transitions were not always smooth, the mystery of the story was not quite built with enough depth, and the biggest issue is the time spent in a secondary character's head. There was way too much effort to build back story there, along with too much mental dialogue. It felt forced, and could have been better integrated through conversation between the characters.However, I do recommend this book, and I await the sequel where I truly expect this blooming author to move into five stars!
