I never knew a series this bad actually had a shark left to jump.

Really. Charlain Harris' quote on the front, to "Read this book at your own risk," was all too relevant.

The first book was bad, but fun enough to try the second. The next two tried to get better. This one has about 15 pages of story, 10 pages of plot, and 400 pages of bad, grade-school-level writing crammed into 350 pages of schlock.

The overall plot here is the same as the last three books: is Joanna Archer ever going to realize t...more

I think Pettersson just decided to go all out with her erasure. As a straight person, I am not in a position to say that the complete erasure was a relief, because it also represents a form of failure that is reoccurring in this genre. Once again, the book takes places in Las Vegas, and there are no people of colour. As a woman of colour, I can say that after watching her treatment of the GLBT community, that I am kind of happy to be erased.

If I had to say that this particular book had any message at all, it would be that absolutism is dangerous. Throughout the series, Joanna/Olivia's nemesis is her biological father tulpa. His mission is to either destroy her before she can bring about his destruction, or to force her into becoming his ally. When we examine this from a womanist perspective, it is clear that in this case that the tulpa constructs her as a possession to be claimed or punished/destroyed for a failure to submit. When we consider that historically daughters have always been understood to be the possession of their fathers until they were lawfully wed, the tulpa's quest to claim to Joanna/Olivia fits into the framework of women as objects.

On the other side of the equation we have the warriors of the light led by Warren. From the beginning of the story, Warren has been either outright deceitful or manipulative. He justifies this by saying that as a leader, he does not have to explain his actions, and that he has the best intentions for his crew. Unfortunately, Warren's best intentions mean sacrificing anyone in his bid to destroy the Tulpa. He said at the end of the third book that the only reason he didn't erase Ben's memory, is because he didn't want Joanna/Olivia distracted, and in this book, he manipulates the end of the budding relationship between Hunter and Joanna/Olivia, because he feels that this would distract her from her true purpose. When Joanna attempts to make it clear that she is a person, he tells her that she is a weapon. Warren also sent her to Midheaven knowing that it would weaken her, but because it was part of his goal to strip her down and remake her in his image, he had no problem with the loss. Warren does not actively seek Joanna/Olivia's death, but he is hardly much different in his approach to her than the tulpa. Once again Joanna/Olivia is an object to be manipulated at will.

Joanna is confused and is running around not accomplishing a whole lot for most of the book.

Joanna broke her changeling in the last book and because of that the Manuals of Light can't be written and the Light agents have lost all their safe zones. Needless to say the Agents of Light are in serious trouble. Warren tells Joanna that she better fix it ASAP and hints that Joanna will find her answers in Midland and that she should find the new tulpa (her doppelganger from the last book).

First for the good stuff. It was cool to learn more about Midland. It was also nice to have the doppelganger involved more. A lot of the plot elements relating to how the changelings affect the Agents' powers were really interesting.

Joanna screws up a lot in this book. Those who thought she was changing as a character in the third book will be disappointed. Even worse is the fact that many of the Agents of Light are not what they appear to be. By the end of the book I felt like there were no Agents of Light. I thought many of the characters acted very out of character; there weren't really any characters that I liked by the end of the book. The deal with Joanna and Hunter was kind of whacked; I can't say more without revealing spoilers. Also I thought it was odd how Joanna is trying to convincingly play Olivia's lifestyle in the beginning of the book but then she (kind of) forgets about being Olivia. There were some small parts where she has to "act like" Olivia; but there aren't really any repercussions for her walking out on the bachelorette party in the beginning or of her doing any other un-Olivia actions. There is one spoiler I need to address cause it irritated the heck out of me so...

SPOILER START-------------------------------------------
What was with the amount of time spent on Joanna losing pieces of her soul and powers? It seemed like it was going to play a really important part in the story; like getting her powers back was going to be a major plot point. Then at the end of the book she looses all of her powers. Well then what was the point of angsting over some small power loss. The only thing I can think of is that now she can go and get the lost power back or something like that. The way the book ended really made me wonder if this is the last book in the series.

Okay, I need to comment about Hunter and Warren too. Hunter was such a sincere character, what was the point of having him do a complete 180? Also what was the point of Warren aiding this whole twisted set-up?
SPOILER END----------------------------------------------

So overall I though the book was okay. Some of the plot line was interesting and the plot definitely twists and turns enough to keep your mind engaged (or at times just plan confused). The characters don't really act like themselves and the bizarre end to the book leaves you wondering if there will be anymore books in the series. Kind of a disappointing book but still kept my interest. (less)

While I've liked the first few books in the series, I'll admit... the charm has begun to wane for me. The general idea of the series has been done before, but it had been a while since I'd seen anyone do it with a zodiac spin to it. Unfortunately this book has killed off a lot of the series' charm for me.

As you know, Joanna has caused her changeling harm that can't be healed in the last book. This means no more Manuals of Light for the good guys, which means that the Agents of Light are at a *se...more

I really should have read the earlier stories in this series before this one. Since I didn't, this book was very confusing at first, and it took some time to gain an understanding of who the main character was, what the Shadow and Light agents were, and all of these other rules that go along with their paranormal world. And I was completely lost when the story started referring to manuals of light/shadow - which turn out to really be comic books, and the agents are really super heroes that have...more

Not even the darkest corner of that beautiful soul.” (p. 310)

The only way to fix the waning strengths of the troop of Light is for Joanna to enter an alternate reality in book four of Pettersson’s Sign of the Zodiac series. Nothing that enters Midheaven is ever the same and those who leave always end up missing a piece of themselves. Despite the danger, Jo finds a way into Midheaven in search of Jaden Jacks, the only person to ever break the Light troop’s comics in the same way that Joanna did.

I felt bad for Joanna before. She was raped as a teenager, gave birth and put her daughter up for adoption, lost her mother, found out her father wasn’t really her father, lost her sister, lost the love of her life and the hits just keep on coming. Each book of the series has me wondering just how black and white Pettersson’s world is. Sure on the surface there is good and evil, but what happens when the good only worries about the good of the whole instead of the individual parts making up the whole? I didn’t think much about the troop of the Light in this book. I think they showed their collective ass with their cult like behavior.

Then there’s a female member of the Shadow troop that I want to smash like a bug along with one in Midheaven. Both are far too intelligent, but I hate their stupid, smug butts. Just about every time they popped into a scene I’d get pissed off. Why is it that the women in this series are far worse than the men? Them some bad bitches!

Overall City of Souls is an excellent addition to the series. It’s bloody and filled with action and betrayal. Major, life altering events occur which change Joanna forever. And a big revelation rocks the end of the book. As the big picture begins to clear, the fourth sign of the zodiac will be fulfilled. The next book in the series is Cheat the Grave.

It’s all building up to the conclusion in book six, The Neon Graveyard, which will be released May 31.

Fixing her changling seems to be the most important, because to do that will help right other things.

This series gets better with each book. Pettersson did a fabulous job with the plot. To say my mouth was left on the floor says it all. As with the other books in this series, City of Souls is action packed and full of suspense that will keep you glued to the pages. This is one of my favorite series. Jo is one of my favorite fictionional characters and what can I say about Hunter... HOT!!

I can't wait to read more of Pettersson's books!

I highly recommend you read this series in order (The Scent of Shadows The First Sign of the Zodiac, The Taste of Night The Second Sign of the Zodiac and The Touch of Twilight, The Third Sign of the Zodiac and also Vicki's short story in the anthology Unbound) before tackling this book.

One thing I can say for this book....it was in no way predictable. This installment had so many twists, turns and surprises I couldn't put it down. If you are a Sign of the Zodiac fan, this is a must read! Joanna has most level-headedness and maturity in this book, than the past books combined.
Joanna Archer is a survivor; chaos reigns in Jo's life and she thrives off of it. However, this chaos is at the expense of everyone who depends on her.

The changelings are still broken. Without having a changeling to record the Agents in the manuals and the lack of belief and imagination to refuel their existence is, causing The Agents of Light to weaken significantly.

Although the doppelganger, Skamar, is no longer trying to rip out Jo's heart and eat it, Skamar is still ineffectual at defeating the Tulpa. The more power the Tulpa and Skamar both expend by battling each other is shifting the environment off balance. The energy they expend must be reabsorbed into the universe or reused but it's just hanging out waiting to be claimed.

To find the solutions to her many problems, Jo crosses over to a neither here nor there reality, an alternate world called Mid-Heaven. The Agents of Light are unraveling and the stakes are high for Jo. The price for the journey to find the answers she seeks may cost be Jo's her soul.

The concept of this whole series just blows me a way. The clever world building of Mid-heaven was ingenious. If you are looking for a break from the usual vampires, weres, witches, fae, demons (although I love my fae and demons) then give this series a try. This series is creative, original, action-packed, exciting and innovative. I highly recommend this book and series to dark urban fantasy readers and I can't wait for the next book in this series Cheat the Grave due out 6/8/2010.

Now two Tulpas war in the skies above Las Vegas, but the Light is losing power and it's safe zones have been destroyed because of Joanna's actions. She accidentally damaged a changeling and in doing so has blocked the creation of the light manuals, the comic books that fill young minds and strengthen the warriors. But to fix the changeling, Joanna needs to travel alone to the dangerous otherworld known as Midheaven...a journey that may well cost her more than she can afford to lose.

There were a lot of storylines left untied at the end of The Touch of Twilight and thankfully this book picked them all up with the exception of where exactly Zoe's mother is. The plot is full of twists and turns, but the reader finally gets to see what Midheaven is like after the hints in the last book. The focus being split between two separate and distinct worlds took me a little while to get used to, but both are so well developed it wasn't difficult to read.

All the usual characters are back, although the cast is left very changed by the end of the book. Joanna has to make some difficult choices, and hidden agendas are revealed on both sides. Joanna's ex Ben has almost completely disappeared from the book, only appearing as general references. Hunter gets more development, and Joanna starts to open up to him more now Ben's out of the picture.

The ending was brilliant and totally unexpected, and the series could quite easily end there (although it doesn't) as the story is pretty much tied up. That's not to say however that there aren't parts of the story that could be easily picked up and continued on, and I can't wait to see where the Hunter story goes in particular.

All in all, a brilliant book and a return to form for the series which left me wanting to see what happens next in Cheat the Grave.

I tried 3 different times to read this book and I just can't. I just don't care for this book at all. I understand that the author really wants you to visually imagine all these things that are happening but I just can't get past the pages of detail that is constantly going on. I just want the story and only the story. She's thinking in her head too much and it takes away from the story too much. I've already put this on the shelf and moved on.

Least favorite book in this series. I get how anguish, strife, and heartache make for good plots, action and fresh material. Except by the fourth book, how much can a protagonist take? It becomes old hat, and I was looking forward to Joanna at least getting her shit halfway right to this point. Oh and the ending? It actually had me leaning towards one star, rather than two. Why build a heroine up to only half her potential, only to take it all away?

This book was off and on for me. I was very satisfied when I finished it, but there are endless alternate dimension sequences which for some reason (like dream sequences) I have no patience for in books. It seems like a step away from the story - I want a well constructed alternate world, and throwing in a place where those rules don't work kind of breaks the spell for me. The ending was pretty good, and I liked the main character more in this book than I've liked her in the rest of the series.

Also, for a matralineal society, there seemed to be an awful lot of men traring women like toys that can be used and tucked back on a shelf. Not very empowering. Meh.

She motioned to the door the other women had disappeared through, and to the world at large. "A good deal of people, mostly women, spend their entire lives in this state. It's a sort of half-death. But if you recognize this, you can fix it...You focus on bliss. Small pleasures. Fill your day with as many as you can fit into twenty-four hours. You devote every possible moment not to fulfilling another person-a man-but yourself."-Suzanne
"Sounds hedonistic"- Joanna
"But once you can do this, you start attracting everyone to you. You dont need compare yourself to some other girl, no matter how young or firm or perky she is.....Trust me.

So focus on your pleasure, and the man you want can't help but realize...that he may be a prince...but your a goddess.-Suzanne” — 8 people liked it
