So far, loving it. After months of reading about Viking or Anglo-Saxon times, the modern language is refreshing. Jacqueline Carey excels at descriptions that you can breathe in and take in the aroma. The characters are relatable, and the world-building is interesting - something you can imagine, yet different from any setting I’ve read a book in before (basically set in a DMZ between Mexico & the US).
