The Rook, au service surnaturel de sa majesté

This tale takes place in a modern world, like our own but where the Supernatural is real. It is a fun story with a bit of mystery, a bit of the super spy, some humor, and a bit of fantasy. In my opinion, the male author does a pretty good job of writing from a female perspective (although, I'm not qualified to make that assessment). I do have a few criticisms, however. The author frequently interjects letters as flashbacks, but I can't imagine how the main character could always be reading the right letter at just the right time - and most of the time, the main character couldn't be reading at all when the flashback is thrown into the story. The various supernatural capabilities and gifted individuals are imaginative, but give the world a chaotic appearance. The reader can't guess what weird capability will be introduced next because there seem to be no rules and no framework for how the supernatural exists.
