The Impossible Contract by K.A. DooreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Doore's second book of The Chronicles of Ghadid diverts away from the story of Amastan, making him a supporting character while the spotlight instead goes to a new queer assassin par excellence: Thana. She's got her own unique challenges to face as Ghadid is under threat from not only the usual undead nonsense from The Perfect Assassin, but also an Empress from a distant land threatening to colonize the great city in the sky - and let's be honest, she's already off to a great start, so it'll take all of Thana's skills to help stop her. Like its predecessor, The Impossible Contract moves as fast as the sands shift, and while it feels slightly less lyrical with its new POV, it showcases Doore's own ability to adjust storytelling style as the plot demands pretty well. One more book in the trilogy, and now I know exactly what that title means...
