A much more enjoyable sequel to Nylon Angel. de Pierres seems to have found her groove here. The narrative flows easier, although there are some passages that are difficult to read. Compared to Nylon Angel, however, Code Noir reads at a calmer pace, that works well and doesn't leave the reader so baffled and breathless at the end.

Slum wars and primitive magic in post-apocalypticy Brisbane(?). Odd stuff here. de Pierres clearly has a very fertile imagination but her writing style is often murky and you're frequently not exactly sure what's going on or where the characters are. Which is a shame. Too much stuffed into too small a packet. Rated MA for violence, coarse language and horror scenes. 2.5/5
I love this series. The writing is direct and reminds me of a hard boiled crime novel. This is a much darker read that the first Nylon Angel and doesn't really resolve that many of the larger plot questions but makes me really want to read the next installment.
Darker than the first, but still quite addictive pulpy fun.
I am absolutely in love with the setting De Pierres uses too. A poisoned sprawled out suburbia makes for a fantastic dystopia.

The series continues its darkly cyberpunk nature as Parrish discovers being a warlord isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when she owes blood debt to the local Cabal. Leaving her ex-lover in charge of her territory, she goes deep into the dark heart of The Tert to find kidnapped shamans. Her inability to pass by an underdog continues as she collects an injured canrat, a python, and some more feral kids who've fallen victim to genetic experimenting. I saw a review of this series that call...more
Interesting story still but a little hard to follow at times. I still really like Parrish and I'm curious to find out what happens between her and Daac.
The thrilling, fast-paced follow-up to the fantastic 'Nylon Angel'.
OK
Boring.
dystopia urban future. Not too bad if you like tough grrls
I read the first book in this series years ago, and enjoyed it. This one I didn't like as much- too many sad deaths and awful living conditions. On the plus side, lots of action and intrigue.
Continuing on from "Nylon Angel" this book continues the adventures of Parrish Plessis in a thrill ride, rocket fast narrative.
