Blind Prophecy

Well, this will be a short review. I’ve already said that Kim Harrison is someone I read for pure escapism, but I’ll admit, she’s growing on me. For a Few Demons More is, in my opinion, her best book to date. It feels like she’s finally going somewhere with the story and I trust that she has an arc in mind. This is the fifth book in her Rachel Morgan series.

Harrison found new ways to torment and torture Rachel Morgan, but I still feel that our plucky narrator is the least interesting character in the series. She has some sort of big breakthrough about her relationship with Ivy toward the end of the book. I honestly couldn’t tell you exactly what that breakthrough was. Something about commitments maybe. Who cares? This book was plot-heavy and less concerned with the character growth.

A whole lot happens in this book. Major plot threads are wrapped, others are advanced in significantly new ways… this is not a book you could just skip if you’re trying to thumb through the series. One complaint, the introduction of a new character in the last two chapters (a psychologist with the FIB) seemed heavy-handed and an obvious set-up for a future plot-line/relationship.

The verdict: the best book in a series that continues to grow on me.
