Ok, these stories are a little formulaic in plot, but I do like the characters which are the point of each book. I liked Dr. Hanover better than Leigh, but Jessie is still my favorite. It's neat that she keeps old characters in as she focuses on new ones. It's also pretty cool that she brings in Ojibwe tradition (although I have no idea how accurate some of the legends she uses are). She takes it as an opportunity to deal with prejudice against Native Americans, which in popular culture is largely forgotten and mistakenly conisdered a thing of the past. I value that in these books. I also enjoy testing my language skills with the Ojibwe vocabulary she employs. This is the first time she has expanded the supernatural world. I'm curious to see what else it will encompass.
