There are 988 reviews of this book currently on GoodReads already. There is nothing I have to say - good or bad - that hasn't been said several times over and much better than I can say it too. 
 I have had Fair Game since release day, but procrastinated in part because it was gonna be awhile before the next Patty Briggs book, and in part because River Marked, the last Patty Briggs book I read (set in this world) annoyed me. 
 Well, now, I read it. 
 I can't fault Ms. Brigg's writing. Her storytelling works for me. The simplicity with which she writes lends a stark beauty to her tale and engages me fully in her prose. 
 And it is no secret that I love the Cornick men. So definitely I very much enjoyed the story. However, I am not feeling as euphoric as I usually do when I have just finished a Patty Brigg's story; that's because the excellence of the story notwithstanding, I have noticed that certain critiques of the series and the world Ms. Briggs have created are starting to resound with me, hence my mixed feelings about the book. 
 (Nevertheless, I think Charles and Anna are more able to carry a story by themselves than Mercy and Adam.) 
 Plus, I miss Sam terribly.
