Jacky Rowan’s just been dumped by her boyfriend, and goes out for an uncharacteristically wild night to compensate. On this night, she manages to stumble into the path of the Wild Hunt, leading her into the doorway to Faerie, where she’s hailed as the Jack of Kinrowan – a hero who can bring down the local Seelie Court’s enemies. This is an omnibus of two books – in the first book, it’s Unseelie giants. In the second, it’s a rogue sorcerer bent on stealing all of the power the Faerie get from the Moon.
These books are set in Ottawa, so not Newford (though there are a few Newford references sprinkled here and there). Like some of the other not-Newford books I’ve read, I don’t like them quite as much. They’re not terrible, I just like Newford better.
