Harkins gets a few moments of bravery, motivated by his crush on Jez. Pinn's antics lighten the mood a bit, succeeding in spite of (or because of?) his stupidity. Slag, unfortunately, gets less time but helps Jez get more in touch with her Mane side. Malvery gets to remind himself why he became a surgeon. The quiet Silo gets to break his silence much more, showing us the side of him we only had a glimpse of when he threw a Sammie off a building. Frey's romance troubles continue, but he's got a bigger problem in this book. Topping this off is Only one book left, and we're 3 for 3 so far.  ) High_Enginseer | Mar 15, 2020 | This book gets bonus points for its lady characters, but an uncertain frown for the central Frey/Trinica conflict and its ongoing permutation. However, I do acknowledge that this might be a case of Frey being a viewpoint idiot, and the author's going to be more careful, nuanced and involved about unravelling this further. He bloody better, because I don't want to have to stop enjoying these books.  ) cupiscent | Aug 3, 2019 |  ) J_Colson | Nov 30, 2017 |
 Like its predecessors, The Iron Jackal is brimful of Cool Shit™, snarky banter, a hit-it-to-the-max style of action, and a joyous sense of fun. This is a book that swashes its buckles with immense panache, and revels in barrels-blazing gunslinging. But Wooding is too accomplished a writer to sacrifice character development to rollicking adventure: he’s good enough to provide both Appartient à la sérieEst contenu dans
Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. They've got their first taste of fortune and fame. And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them. Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancée and long-time nemesis, has given up her quest for revenge. In fact, she's offered them a job - one that will take them deep into the desert heart of Samarla, the land of their ancient enemies. To a place where the secrets of the past lie in wait for the unwary. Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything. Join the crew of the Ketty Jay on their greatest adventure yet: a story of mayhem and mischief, roof-top chases and death-defying races, murderous daemons, psychopathic golems and a particularly cranky cat. The first time was to clear his name. The second time was for money. This time, Frey's in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize: to save his own life.

Since that alone might make it sound rather boring, allow me to add that Wooding writes great action scenes, with a deftness and humor that makes these books such a treat to read. Some scenes are so wonderful they beg to be read out loud.
From the ending, it looks like the crew of the Ketty Jay has lots of adventures to come. I just hope his American publisher (or an American publisher, if he's currently without) starts getting these out a little faster. I could only find the UK edition of this one. (
