This is an action-filled volume, which begins a tad slowly as we are given (as often happens with second volumes) some useful historical back story, but I think it’s a great series in the tradition of The Last Airbender. Can the two kids save the day again? At the end of this volume, it is really up in the air. Is it possible for a democratic political solution across the divide? This volume has a messy answer, sending the city in turmoil. His son wants the power he was long promised.
In this one, The General of Blades wants a democratic solution for the Nameless City. The last volume featured an assignation attempt, where our two hero kids Kaidu and Rat (representing each of the two warring factions, two different castes) saved the day. It also features a densely multicultural city that is struggling with warring factions. So this is fiction, not real historical fiction, but there are period costumes and architecture. So this is completely different! And I normally prefer little intimate indie projects, but since I am already familiar with Hicks’s style and sensibilities, I knew I would like this.
I am especially a big fan of her Friends with Boys, which is this sweet, intimate family-based story, and The Adventures of Supergirl, which is hilarious.
