Cyborg agent Lila Black has been deep Under Faerie. She and her friends have returned damaged, destroyed, dead. And fifty years have passed in human time, so Lila has lost everything at home, too. Her demon husband Teazle has been framed for murder and gone missing while searching for clues to the whereabouts of her dead elf husband Zal. Her possessed dress is giving her a hard time. Then the Ghost Fleet turns up. It’s all up to Lila again.
This starts off rather slowly, with Lila frankly moping about everything; fair enough, she’s got plenty to mope about. But eventually she starts to do things, stir things up, take charge, and charge into danger. And we’re back into fantastically imaginative and weird lands, as Lila risks everything to rescue Zal from the Edge of Death.
The series started off leaving home to explore the elf, demon, and fae worlds made available by the quantum bomb. Here the story is beginning to circle back to consider that initial event: who or what set off the bomb, and why? It feels things are setting up for a grand denouement in the final book; I’m confident Robson is going to pull this off in ways I can’t even begin to imagine!

Stop wasting your precious time with this review and just go read the book already. Review needs more words you don't.

Good but not as great as the rest of the series

As a self professed "hard core" science fiction addict I've kept quiet about my enjoyment of this series from Justina Robson not through embarrassment or reserve just a view that others would be better reviewers. Of course that's not to say that this isn't just as hard core as stuff from Peter Hamilton or Alistair Reynolds but that the series has an overlay/spine of emotion, metaphor and whimsy which distinguishes it from many other works.
I've thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series; the world building, characterisation, plot and heart behind it are without compare and in her heroine, Lila Black, she has created one of the most interesting, compelling and basically sexy literary creations I've read in quite some time.
However I didn't enjoy this volume in the series quite as much as the others, as Lila's journey moves from the material world to those more and more radically different from "here'n'now" the narrative for me has lost its way somewhat. It's often said that the best books are those which deliver new insights to the reader upon each successive reading, and that was certainly true of the last volume, "Going Under", but for me the middle third of the book was a trifle too stuffed with metaphor and allusion to maintain the tight focus the previous books had.
In short this is a good volume in a great series; it's just not quite as good as those which came before it.
