Secondhand Luck (The Shadow Age, #2)Secondhand Luck by Kim Harrison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pretty decent continuation of a new UF by one of my favorite UF authors.

Specifically, I really enjoy the evolution of the magic rules here. I thought I had a pretty good grip on it from the first novel, but I really appreciate how everything keeps breaking and getting fixed again in the middle of mystery, a dangerous magical stalker, growing friendships, and just trying to do the right thing.

In other words, doing all the things that good UFs do. Plus, it gets into the magical weeds in a fun, fun way.

You can say it's Plucky. ;)

I'm definitely going keep following this.
