Kaye Wagner continues to make a great series even better with every book! I just love the deep character development, especially the side kick Jake. It's an amazing transformation he makes throughout. We see it from the start in this set. Jake is trying his hardest to make something, and build his own success, even in spite of Kirin(the legendary detective) only wanting the big tough cases to crack. Of course the stories build, and our heroes have an amazing dynamic relationship.We see the main characters return, still riding the popularity from their last big case. While it is a perfect continuation of the previous story, I don't think you would be too lost without reading the first set of the series. Even if you do decide to start with these books four through seven, you will find yourself quickly rushing to grab one through three.Wagner has built upon the solid foundation of world building laid in At the World's End. We get to see and explore more of the dystopian city. Seeing and feeling the differences between the high and low class sectors. It adds such depth and realism to an already fantastic story line.The pacing as before is fast and very smooth. Nothing ever feels forced, or unnatural. This is a dystopian, cyberpunk, sci-fi series, but you don't have to be a hardcore fan of the genre to appreciate the series. It can defiantly stand alone as a solid fantasy young adult.I can defiantly recommend this to everyone with no real age restrictions! I'm a big fan, and I was not let down on this installment at all.
