Rare needs a big edit. A big edit. For clarity, coherence, and style. The premise is interesting--a young woman gets a non-existent (in our world) record, denoting Things Happening in the Unseen world--that of magic, the unnatural, and the supernatural--and she's pushed out the door and told to run by the psychic living in her apartment building. The young woman, it turns out, isn't much of a character, but there are dozens of others who propel, drag, and shuffle the story along to its blessed conclusion. There's just too much packed in here--too many cosmologies, too many undeveloped characters (many of who seem lifted right out of other fantasy books), too many unexplained subplots and sideplots and backgrounds and places and objects. It's a mess, but with some really good editing could be a lot better. Oh, and FYI to the author and editors, we don't use the word "crippled" anymore. It's ableist.
