Fantasy
Publisher: Tor Books
April 2012 : Paperback
As the junior wizard sentinel for New Orleans, Drusilla Jaco's job involves a lot more potion-mixing than sniffing out supernatural bad guys. DJ's mentor, Gerald St. Simon, is the wizard tasked with protecting the city from anyone or anything that slips over from the preternatural beyond. Then Hurricane Katrina hammers New Orleans' fragile levees, unleashing more than just dangerous flood waters. Now the undead and the restless are roaming the Big Easy, and a serial killer with ties to voodoo is murdering soldiers sent to help the city recover. To make it worse, Gerry has gone missing, the wizards' Elders have assigned a grenade-toting assassin as DJ's new partner, and an undead pirate wants to make her walk his plank. DJ will learn the hard way that loyalty requires sacrifice ...and duty mixed with love creates one bitter gumbo.

Puntos a favor:
Sentido del humor. Personajes interesantes. Buen ritmo.
Historia atrapante y bien narrada.

Demasiados personajes solo conocidos a nivel local, cuya
aparición es simplemente anecdótica. La identidad de Gandalf es obvia. Un final
no precisamente feliz.

El mejor debut de urban fantasy de este año, hasta ahora.
Puntaje: 4/5
