Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb by Kirsten Miller

I really liked this book. It is definitely not a stand alone, so make sure you read Kiki Strike: Inside the Shadow City before you delve into this one. I know that I should probably start reviewing books I don't like so that my readers don't start thinking I am a chump that likes anything with pages...

The Empress's Tomb is a great sequel to Into the Shadow City. In this new book, Kiki Strike and the Irregulars battle to save one of their members from snobbery and death. When Oona Wong is courted by her long absent and criminal father, the rest of the group knows it is bad news. When several secrets being kept within the group come to light, the friends struggle with issues of distrust. As with the first book, there is adventure and intrigue all the way through.

I recommend this book to 12 and up. It does seem a little unlikely that Ananka's parents are so forgiving and lenient of her skipping school, sneaking out of the house and other bad behavior. Otherwise this one is as good as the last. Read it up!
