Helpful Score: 3

Not quite as fabulous as "Blood Engines", but still it rocks! I love the dry humor, and Marla reminds me even more of Granny Weatherwax from Discworld- and that's a high compliment.

I like that Pratt has Marla make "wrong" (though practical) decisions, but then allows her to reconsider.

Also, I find the world extremely intriguing, and am looking forward to learning more about it in #3, as well as hanging out with Marla some more.

In short- if you like "sensitive" protagonists, avoid these. But if you like an affectionate but ruthless look at human nature- they're completely fabulous.
