Divine Misdemeanors by Laurell K. Hamilton. 333 pp.
I thought that the previous volume in the series might actually end it, because it tied up the plot arc that had been running since volume 1. Nope. I actually enjoyed this book more than I have the last few, because there's a "local" plot going on, and the metaplot is just happening in the background. In a way, this volume is a reboot back to the beginning of the series, because Merry is back to being a fae working in the human world...it's just that her circumstances are more complex than they were before. Also, the "adding new lovers/bringing new powers" has been toned down somewhat, which is nice because that was getting pretty boring. I like Hamilton's world-building, but after a couple of volumes the series got so self-absorbed with its own internal rules that it was hard to care about the characters; this one give the characters more breathing room.
