Book two of the Quantum Gravity series sees Lila Black drawn into the intoxicatingly dangerous demon realm. Capricious, in love with beauty, demons are best left to themselves. Not easy when they can't resist tampering with humans. Justina Robson's new series is a joyful melding of science fiction and fantasy brought together in the figure of the dangerously lovely Lila Black, a 21 year old secret agent who's had much of her body replaced with weapon-and-armour-heavy intelligent metal and who isn't sure where her mind ends and her installed AI begins. Lila's world is one where demons, elves and elementals live alongside people. And somehow Lila and the other agents of the security agancy have to provide security for all and stay alive themselves.
Sometimes a bit confused this could have done with me revisiting the first book in the series to check on relationships and other issues.
Lila Black is a great character and in this story she ends up in the Demon Dimension. She;s still dealing with the issues brought about by her cyberwear and her new lifestyle and the men in her life.
I like this series and really will have to purchase copies for my own library.
