I've been reading fantasy for most of my life but I don't usually read novels set in modern day. I made an exception for this book because I LOVE Lindsay Buroker's "Emperor's Edge" steampunk/fantasy series. I'm so glad I read this book!Like her other books, it has great pacing, funny character banter, and on-the-edge-of-your-seat action, which I'm sure others will cover in their reviews- What I specifically wanted to praise in this book is the diverse trio of main characters. Even now in the 21st century, it's unfortunately very rare to find fantasy books that are diverse in race and gender. Your hero is usually going to be a white man- sometimes a white woman. This book has two female main characters, one of them black, and the male character is Native American. Of course they're all 3d, well-written characters, because it's written by Lindsay Buroker :)I can't think of a single flaw this book had. I highly recommend it to any fans of the fantasy genre (as well as Lindsay's other books!), and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next in the series!
