I think this is my favourite one yet! It's basically one big dangerous trip to Georgia, by which I mean Black Sea Georgia, not the U.S. state, and I admit I had to pull up a map to find the town they first arrived in over there, which led me on a rabbit hole of reading about civil wars and independence movements and so forth, so it was some time later that I came back to the actual book to keep reading. The trip is all in service of getting medicine to stop the Pack kids going loup, and when I read the blurb for the book I thought "Oh good, it will probably have quite a bit of Doolittle in it" - sue me, he's my favourite, even though he's only a very supporting character. (I find his constant exasperation with stupidity relatable). And it did, so I was pleased. 

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'm limited in what I can say here, but I do think this: that the onset of magic has clearly made political relationships between populations orders of magnitude more complex, and I enjoy that. When it comes to urban fantasy, the inter- (and intra!) species politics are the biggest draw for me I think. This isn't always as exploited as well as it could be in every urban fantasy I come across, but this book does it particularly well, even if it's primarily in a setting that we're unlikely to go back to, with parties who may also not be seen again, once Kate and company return to Atlanta. Still, I'm looking forward to the next volume.
