Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb


By Kirsten Miller. This is the second Kiki Strike book. It was fun, but not as good as the first. I didn't think the story hung together as well and didn't captivate me like Shadow City. Miller introduces a male character into the circle of friends of the Irregulars that I thought didn't really meld into the story. The strengths of the first book--the detective manual aspects and the snide comments about society's under-expectations girls--were not as strong here.

A lot of people seem to like this one better for some reason. I didn't. I preferred the first. But I LOVED the whole parents of gifted children thing. Hilarious.
