Finished!
Have to collect my thoughts a bit but I think this might have topped TCF for me. I loved it, it was a terrific read. It had fun, intensity, gore, action, and horror. Not to forget the incredible setting, i'm not likely to get Charybdis and Hasanova out of my mind for some time.
Spoiler
Did anyone notice the lack of a traditional queen in the novel? Also the Midnighters have encountered the alien 26 times? Aliens are everywhere at this point in the timeline somehow.
What a crazy end to the Blue Marsalis story, not what I was expecting but it was really well done and interesting.
