It's the start of a series and I'm not sure where she's headed with it; this book is urban fantasy, but it ends with discussions of traveling to a secondary world. You can read the prologue and first chapter off her <a href="http://www.janelindskold.com/thirteenorphans-s.html">website</a>.</p> <p>Lindskold is good at likable characters and interesting premises, but not so good at subtlety or sophistication (lots of internal monologuing); this book doesn't have any villain POVs. </p> http://www.steelypips.org/weblog/2008/12/takaya_01-02.php#c126776
