Fluffy, but still imaginative, and though getting a little thin, I will go ahead and re-read the last four after I take up a few unrelateds I've set aside on my nightstand. ( )

The continued adventures of the three runestone bearers, Kira the thief, Wydrune the warlock, Mordred, a centuries-old assassin, and young Billy the street punk whose body is shared by the spirit of Merlin (yes, that Merlin) and an ancient Immortal, Gorlois. Oh, and there's an animated Jewish-yenta-esque broom. In this installment a serial killer/necromancer has taken up residence in Japan. If the combined efforts of the Japanese police department, the Yakuza, and the runestone bearers aren't enough to stop it, Tokyo's not going to have to worry about Godzilla any longer.

Occasionally wordy and slightly over-thought, but entertaining. ( )
