You know how you come across an iconic character in a wondrous environment and you want to know more about him? That urge is what drives you hungrily to every book he appears in, looking for more of his badassery, his quirks and interactions. Well, that character is what Ms. Royce has created in Feast, the protagonist in her Containment series. In a futuristic world where ghosts are used as fuel, Feast, a quarter demon started as a nightwatchman in the Spectral Power plant before rising to management in book 2. Going up against a bevy of fiends, presented with the revelation of a destructive new drug, plagued by a past assault and slightly obsessed with a father that he never knew, Feast has a lot on his plate. Ms. Royce gives out pieces of his tale filled with promise and guaranteed to pique your appetite but as she also keeps the narrative bouncing from one h'orderve to the next. As a reader, I found myself enjoying a scene so much and then onto another tasting and another. All were delishe, but with no resolutions, I felt a little bereft. After I had some time to think about (and get something to eat) it dawned on me that Containment is a serialized story and that tasting plates will be brought back out again, just not as fast as my greed wants. Altogether this is a fascinating series and you will want more!

Another fantastic story about Feast and his work in the spectral power plant in Charlotte, NC. It leaves you wanting more and hopefully Containment 3 comes out sooner rather than later. Really well done!
