Bayou Moon

Author(s): Ilona Andrews
Publisher: Ace
Date : 2010

Bayou Moon is the second in Ilona Andrew's new series the Edge. This time the book focuses on William and Cerise. William is no longer living in the Weird, instead of being a noblemen and soldier he is now living in the Broken and living in the Mundane world. On the opposite hand Cerise lives in the Broken/Edge because her family is too magical to transition fully into the Broken. Her family is called the Rats because there are so many of them, they're all poor, the scrounge, steal and yell. With her parents gone/kidnapped she's now the leader of them, all of them, yippie. Through more entanglement she finds herself having to rely on this William, but his noble blood shows through, proving she can't trust him as far as she can throw him.

Bayou moon was just as good as the Edge. I love Ilona Andrew's writing and her style of getting up close and dirty with her characters. Andrews is wonderful at giving her heroes and heroines amazing powers/responsibilities, yet knowing just how to write them so they are likable and relatable. The back and forth between the two is almost as funny as meeting the different family members of the Rathole. I especially like Kaldar and I hear a rumor that he might be getting his own book, so cross your fingers. The story was fast paced at times and can seem a bit overwhelming, but I enjoyed how quickly the story progressed. All in all it was a great read and I really, really hope I can see Kaldar in the future and who is intended one might be.
