Mighty Good Road by Melissa Scott

[snugglekitty]

Dem Heikki and her friends have been hired to find out what caused a hoverboat crash. Sabotage is suspected. The catch? She must return to the world of her birth in order to find answers. The other catch? She doesn't quite trust her employer.

I am a strong fan, one might even say a devotee, of Scott's writing. However, this one didn't really do it for me. The central characters fell flat, and we didn't see much of the peripheral characters. The mystery of the main character's past is never solved. The passion in her relationship is never observed. There was no "bang."

It reminded me of the much newer Spin Control but it wasn't as good. Three stars.
