Three Kinds of Lucky by Kim Harrison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There's a lot of strong things going on with this.

First, it's a Kim Harrison, so I can generally expect quality and a certain amount of plot and character hooks that are rather crowd-pleasing. Or, at least, me-pleasing. "Underdog, under-powerful, treated like poop, but there's something there..."

Let's face it, that stuff hits the spot sometimes -- and it certainly does here.

Petra's a glorified street cleaner, magical garbage collector. She's low on everyone's magical totem pole, and most of this novel is devoted to showing us just how it is and how it might be otherwise. And that's just plain fun. A good, new UF opener.

And as for all you Kim Harrison fans, while this isn't tied to any Hollows stuff, it has a delicious new feel and a ton of potential, so don't sleep on it. :)
