I'm enjoying this series so far. They're total popcorn reads, but they're definitely entertaining. In this volume, the focus shifts from Russian to Celtic mythology. I know more about the latter than the former, so it was perhaps not quite as interesting in that respect, but the reeves were sufficiently creepy to make up for it.

I'm in two minds about the continual hinting at Kate's real background, though. On the one hand I'm interested to see where it will go, but on the other it seems as if her continued upswing in power is taking away from the part of her which I most like: that of a seemingly normal person caught up in this weird world of competing magic and science. I mean, she's not entirely normal, being raised the way she was and being part of a mercenary guild and the Order and so forth, but I tend to be more interested reading about normal people in general than I am those with superpowers, essentially. Still, I'm entertained enough to go with it for the moment.
