Lost Covenant by Ari Marmell
4.0
Pretty much the same in tone and content as the first one, continuing the adventures of Widdershins and her personal god Olgun. This one alternates between what Widdershins is up to now that she's left Davillon for a while to recover from so many losses (she saves the last living family of the man she owes her life to...well, the first man she owes her life to, at least), and what is happening in her home city while she is gone, as an old enemy and a newer enemy team up and start quietly wreaking havoc among Shin's friends and contacts as well as highly-placed people in order to exact revenge. Once story is brought to a finish while the interludes in Davillon set up the fourth book.
Entertaining, definitely written for a YA audience, they are refreshing in that they don't require romance but offer tinges of it. The occasional modern slang took me out of the quasi-Renaissance world, but not enough to make me not want to finish the series.
