Both a prequel of sorts and a companion novel to Mort(e), Culdesac tells the story of the fierce bobcat commander's quest to advance the Queen of the Dirt's war against humanity. I loved the first book and I really enjoyed this one despite some slight repetition. Culdesac is a less conflicted and therefore less complex character than Mort(e) and didn't win my heart in the same way, but Repino is no holds barred take no prisoners in his story telling and I was swept along through glorious action sequences to a very satifyimg conclusion. Looking forward to D'arc, the third installment in the series.

meh.
This was a fun book, and I did actively enjoy it as I read it. But after finishing and reflecting on the book, I have to admit I'm just not that terribly impressed. It was a fun read, and I think I would still recommend it to patrons, but it wasn't my favorite book of all time.
