City of Night by Michelle West
4.0
Jewel's journey picks up a couple of years after book 1, she and her Den no longer live with Rath but they still see him for training or to get him to sell the items they find in the undercity. A lot of the everyday trials of survival and life are a part of the story because they are street children, but slowly things start to change as the maze of the undercity becomes a different sort of hunting ground and they start to lose members of the Den to it.
Rath however is hunting the demons and setting up his endgame before Jewel even comes to him to tell him of the first Den member to be lost and he orders them to stay out of the maze as it's no longer safe. He continues his work the order of knowledge even when he knows what the end will require of him.
I love how strong Rath's character is, even the growing pains of the children are compelling which is unusual for me, almost all of them are interesting for one reason or another, Duster being my fave.
