Yet another really enjoyable book in this series. Things are changing in ways I wouldn't have guessed from the first couple of books. The impossible couple are a couple, past the no-backsies point, and the complications from that should be kinda delicious. Gordon writes zippy, spritely prose and has a master's ear for dialogue and eye for character. There are only a few characters that don't come across as human, and they ... mostly come to bad ends, deservedly. I have one more book to read soon (so it can go back to the library) then I'm caught up.
