The Inexplicables by Cherie Priest

3.0

This book was disappointing. So far, I have really enjoyed this series. This book was different from all the others in numerous ways 1) the main character. Rector was very unlikeable throughout, drug addict, thief, and general asshole, whereas the other books are mostly told by strong independent women. it was hard to care about him for a good portion of the book. (Sidenote: telling from Houjin’s POV would have been a much more interesting) 2) the title isn’t a piece of machinery, like the other titles. the inexplicables are basically Sasquatch and I found that whole plotline really weird. 3) the world created is very steampunk, in every other book. Because this takes places almost wholly in Seattle, there’s really not a lot of technology, but in underground there totally could have been.. it was kind of glossed over instead.

That being said, the intruders coming to destroy everything plot line was interesting and I did enjoy seeing more of Houjin and Zeke.
