And you thought Seattle Geography was bad before

Finished C. E. Murphy's Thunderbird Falls on Thursday, but been busy trying to catch up on other things. As such, we're getting a twofer today.

Anyway, we're back to following our favorite shaman, Joanne Walker, as she continues to avoid training her Shamanic powers outside of Earth ending events. Indeed, early on, she projects herself into the Dead Zone with no protection and winds up nearly getting eaten by a giant snake and banishing Coyote. Oops.

A Witch finds Joanna and passes on that she dreamed of her, and invites her to join the Coven to help invite an ancient spirit into reality to fix the wounds Joanne's magic has caused.

What follows is a case of "Who can you trust?", and Joanne, acting without guidance, makes a few major mistakes and Seattle's geography gets rearranged via an earthquake.

It was fun to return here, although I think there's a story in an anthology that comes between the first two volumes. It gets referenced, so I spent most of the book feeling like I was missing part of the story.

On the other hand, it remains fun reading with even better characters.
