A review by schottjm
The Janus Affair by Pip Ballantine, Tee Morris
5.0
[It took me longer to finish this book than it should have, but that had nothing to do with the book itself and everything to do with working on four shows at the same time during the month of April and having little-to-no free time.]
Oh, this book. The authors successfully expanded the world presented in Phoenix Rising, in very organic ways. This never felt like a sequel-for-sequel's-sake, but a natural progression for both Books and Braun. Old faces show up again; new characters are also introduced. More backstories are given. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to give anything away. However, some things made me laugh. Some made me gasp. And one thing upset me greatly. But I trust the authors to take the story where it needs to go. And that ending!!!
Also, I really want to dine at the Bird's Eye View.
