Vary, a prostitute in training, is in love with two of her professors, one of which happens to be a laeske (a sentient winged lizard), and the other may or may not be blind and has prosthetic laeske legs. Welcome to the sixth book of Finder.

Honestly, this series has never failed to deliver. As someone who adores anthropology, this book tickled me in a myriad of ways. Without spoiling anything, a lot near the ending will crack up anyone with even a passing interest in other cultures.

As always, McNeil has expanded her world and made it even richer than before. Her characters all have become better and better developed as the series goes on, which is saying a lot, because they were well developed from the start. My love of this series knows no bounds.

So get it. Read it. Enjoy it, and pass it on. I've said it before - this is the only graphic novel I know that's got footnotes, and it needs them. This is literature, folks, and it doesn't get much better than this. ( )

Six stars, really. best so far of an exceptional series. of course I love Jaeger, but he's best seen and only rarely heard - because then you're more likely to notice the incredible impact of what he has to say. and Vary is pretty wonderful, too, as are her professors! ( )
