And let me tell ya, Asa Reynolds is a serious badass!!!
Another fun side project for author Abigail Keam! Not fun in the way a roller coaster is fun but definitely fun in the way of getting to know a side character and loving the heck out of her.
The last novella gave us Asa wounded from a previous failed job and trying to help a child get away from a bad situation. This novella gives Asa a chance to fix the issue that screwed up that job and make it right. Lots of energy, lots of danger, and lots of action from a character that is as tough as nails and more complicated than a map of downtown Tokyo.
Pacing is perfect, keeping Asa hopping and the prose flowing. No time to sit on her laurels and you don't want it to have any. Anything that gives more depth to this character is a glorious story to me. And there's depths to Asa Reynolds that the author has yet to plumb. I hope we get more Asa stories to dive deep into that pool. Because I can't get enough.
Another five star read. Another short, sweet read into the danger zone.
