Book Reviews of Poison Sleep (Marla Mason, Book 2)
Book Review: Where is Felport?
Summary: 5 Stars
This second in the "Marla Mason" series is even better than the outstanding debut "Blood Engines." The characters are well imagined and even have credible motivations. I like the moral ambiguity of the characters - Marla and her friends want to do good, but not terribly fervently. Their opponents either want different goods or want evil, but not terribly fervently. Even the main villain of the piece proves to be too weak and foolish to be a true threat.
In this story, the conflict is resolved through the use of subtle magic, rather than the comic book convention of escalating super powers. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of strategy versus tactics and the distinction between an evil person and a good person who does evil things.
This is fantasy for grown ups.
However, where is Felport - is seems to be something like Minneapolis but to have an ocean port? It is driving me crazy.
Summary of Poison Sleep (Marla Mason, Book 2)
The bad girl of the magical underworld is back and badder than everSomeone wants Marla Mason dead. Usually that's not news. As chief sorcerer of Felport, someone always wants her dead. But this time she's the target of a renegade assassin who specializes in killing his victims over days, months, or even years. Not to mention a mysterious knife-wielding killer in black who pops up in the most unexpected places. To make matters worse, an inmate has broken out of the Blackwing Institute for criminally insane sorcerers-a troubled psychic who can literally reweave the fabric of reality to match her own traumatic past.
With her wisecracking partner Rondeau reluctantly in tow, Marla teams up with a "love-talker" whose dangerous erotic spells not even she can resist. Together they're searching the rapidly transforming streets of Felport for a woman who's become the Typhoid Mary of nightmares, infecting everything-and everyone-she touches with a chaos worse than death itself.
