The world building of Inkarna is phenomenal, some of the most unique I've encountered in any urban fantasy. The slightly different take on reincarnation makes for a great set-up as the character who is introduced to us as a prim elderly woman returns to the mortal plane as a young goth male with a penchant for nasty trouble. Lizzie settling into life as Ash brings a lot of humor and heart to the story that dovetails wonderfully with the menace and darkness of the rest of the plot. Richly descriptive and always engrossing, Inkarna is a terrific change of pace from the usual paranormal with it's Egyptian-inspired mythology and challenging main character. I don't know what Nerine has planned but I would love to read more set in this fascinating world of mystery cults, magic, and reincarnation.
