Pale Demon by Kim Harrison

4.0

The moral difficulty Rachel finds herself in is here in this story brought to front and center. I've been frustrated lately with how absurd the black and white thinking of Rachel has gotten her into so much trouble, particularly in the world in which she lives. While there have been struggles, the result was always a further identification with being different than others in an attempt to remain "pure." That journey makes sense given the history, but I was curious when it was going to move forward. Here it does and in spectacular form. The road trip with Kalamack is like a fantastical version of a comedy skit and the space provided for Trent to expand as a person is delightful. Throw in a particularly messed-up demon and a further fleshing out of the world Harrison has created, the result is one of the best of the series.
