Elaine Corvidae i not only a good writer but also has a vivid imagination. Each book or series is a unique world. Each heroine, however is much the same. Different abilities but much the same personalities: independent, tough-minded. Still, that's nothing unusual in books by and about women. They are very seldom shrinking violets clinging to a man for protection or financial aid.

The book concerns someone called a ghost eater. Despite invulnerability, and a fairly grisly way (psychic ability), he is lonely and miserable. He is sent to find a specific woman among an enemy people who have treated his people harshly. The story is mostly about what happens after he finds her.

I will mention my pet peeve, ebook spelling and grammar. I am happy to say that both are excellent. This book is well edited; someone paid professional attention to it. There is no problem with the formatting either. So, plot excellent, characters good, action moves it along briskly and mechanics are good. I am happy to recommend this novel. ( )
