Finder, Vol. 03: King of the Cats by Carla Speed McNeil

thecatwood's review

4.0

King of the Cats has a much tighter plot than Sin-Eater. It pokes satirical fun at Disney Worlds and modern society's obsession with technology and entertainment, as Jaeger gets stuck inside a hermetically sealed amusement park that is revered like a holy pilgrimage site. The real interest is in two "outside the dome" cultures that wealthy city people come to gawk at as exhibits - the Nyiman, nomdadic lion hybrid warriors, and the Ascian, Jaeger's own ethnic family and equivalents to Native Americans. Less monologues, more cuddly lion babies.

Jaeger and the Ascians and the weird bipedal lionesses. all that's missing is a surprise visit from the Doctor. But maybe Jaeger is the Doctor!
