In which Kai is kidnapped and imprisoned by the Fae, and Irene dashes off to attempt the unlikeliest of rescues. In the face of antagonists whose powers greatly exceed her own, she has no plan and no resources, other than her wits and her Language. Followers of Doctor Who will be familiar with this way of tackling problems.

It's quite fun at first reading, but so far I don't think the characters, the stories, or the scenario are good enough for this series to become one of my favourites. Although at least I'm buying the books, which I suppose is the main thing from the author's point of view.
