This is the fourth and apparently final book in the series. This is a series that really needs to be read n order since each book picks up right where the previous one left off. I expected this book to be exciting and it absolutely was. Owl has to somehow juggle saving her boyfriend, keeping her dragon boss happy, and staying alive. I was hooked by the story from the beginning and couldn’t wait to see how things would work out. Owl’s boyfriend, Rynn, was taken by the Electric Samurai armor in the previous book. She knows that it could have been her in the armor so she is determined to save Rynn and stop the armor from becoming more powerful. I was kind of surprised when Artemis showed up to help her out but I thought that they made an interesting team, even when I wasn’t sure if he should be trusted. The stakes are high and things are incredibly dangerous. There were a few instances where Owl only had her cat, Captain, there to help her out. He is a special cat, but he is still a cat. I was entertained throughout this story. I listened to the audiobook and thought that Christy Romano did a wonderful job with the narration. She has a pleasant voice that was easy to listen to for extended periods of time. I thought that she did a great job with the various character voices and really brought the story to life. There were a few times during the audiobook that I heard a bit of an echo which was somewhat distracting but it was otherwise a great performance. I would recommend this series to others. My only complaint is that there are quite a few things left unresolved in this book and additional installments do not appear to be coming anytime soon. I feel like Owl has more left to do and hope that we will see more books in the future but I’m not holding my breath. This is the 4th book in the Adventures of Owl series. Originally I had heard there were going to be 4 books in this series, but from the way this book ended there has to be at least one more book planned in this series. This is a very fun series and this book continues that trend. I really enjoyed it; it was fast-paced and fun. We get to visit a lot of amazing locations, go on some amazing quests with Owl, and there is a ton of action. We spend a lot of time with Artemis this book and for the majority of the book Owl is trying to figure out a way to get the Electric Samurai armor off of Rynn. I do have a few complaints. The first is that Owl just doesn’t really grow or change much as a character; she doesn’t seem to ever learn from her mistakes. The second is that this book suffers from a typical UF heroine issue; the heroine is just always completely run ragged and never gets a break or takes care of herself. This is an issue in a number of UF books and reading these types of books always make me feel exhausted out of sympathy for the heroine. The last issue I had was that I did get a bit sick of Owl constantly getting a bag thrown over her head and getting dragged away somewhere; this happened many many times in this book and was used way too much as a plot device. Overall, despite some things I didn’t like about the story, this was still an enjoyable urban fantasy and I would recommend. I keep hoping Owl is going to “grow up” a bit and be treated a bit better by the story at some point. I plan on reading the next book in the series, but if it’s more of the same I probably won’t continue with this series. One of my favorite series is back! This one is hard to review because I don't want to give out any spoilers. This one picks up shortly after that cliff hanger ending in the last book so definitely do not jump ahead and start reading here. Just know that Owl is her same sarcastic self and will do just about anything to get what she wants. Rynn's cousin Artemis plays a prominate role as well. Plenty of humor, great dialog, action and adventure keeps this moving at a breakneck speed. I thought the ending of the last book was something, but this one changes EVERYTHING! I did not see it coming at all. I really cannot wait to see where this series goes from here. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Owl--a modern-day Indiana Jane--handles supernatural monsters, temperamental dragons, and slippery ninjas as she races to stop a brewing supernatural war in this fourth novel in the Owl series. The Silk Road was an ancient trade route paved with fortunes and tears in equal measure--the tears part mostly due to the distinct chance of being gutted by an opportunistic supernatural lying in wait. Somewhere among the trade cities lost to the ages, the Tiger Thieves--assassins who once guarded the Silk Road against the supernatural monsters that preyed on ancient caravans--still hide. Shame no one has seen one of them in over five hundred years, since they're the only ones who might be able to help Owl stop the reign of the Electric Samurai and the descent of the world into supernatural chaos in all its eviscerating glory. From a Peruvian jail to Venice to Timbuktu, Owl searches for the Tiger Thieves in the hopes of convincing them to help her--all while fetching artifacts and weapons for Mr. Kurosawa's brewing supernatural war. Considering diplomatic negotiations aren't exactly Owl's strong suit, she has her work cut out for her. Not to mention, her sidekick on this adventure leaves a lot to be desired and little to trust. Poking a tiger is never a good idea, and tangling with the ancient assassins will take everything Owl has. Eventually, she'll have to decide whether she's a wayward archaeologist or just another cold-hearted thief. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Fabulous book. I do miss Carpe, but I have a feeling he will show up in the future. I loved the fact that Owl teamed up with Artemis and that they, despite some minor problems, well some pretty big problems between them, did it work out. Too bad that Artemis is Ryan's cousin otherwise I would have totally have loved to see some more sparks between them in the future. Hell, when I think about it wouldn't I mind that a bit and I like Ryan...
Anyhow, haven't read this series? Do so! ( )
