Margrit is wildly underpowered in a world filled with magic. On the other hand, Murphy has tapped into what made the first few Anita Blake books so enjoyable. It's not that I want a boring character, but one with an understandable emotional life would be nice. The main character shifts gears so fast I felt like I had vertigo-one moment she's angry, the next she's humping a gargoyle in midflight, the next she's whooping with laughter.
