Retrievers #4
Burning Bridges
Wren Valere used to be almost invisible. But now she's not only being seen, she's getting involved.
Recent attacks against nonhuman Fatae have escalated into hate crimes against magic users in general--humans included. With the Mage Council distracted by internal power struggles, Wren is guilted into stepping up as spokesperson for the fragilely united Fatae and lonejack communities.
And, because the cosmos deems her without enough complications, her partner-lover Sergei is drowning in his own problems. But not only can't she help him she's the cause.
With lives on the line, including her own, Wren's going to have to break the lonejack credo, ditch her long-cherished invisibility and take a stand.
But burning bridges can be deadly.

3.5 stars. This continued to be a good series about Wren, whose magic leaves her unnoticed by most people, and her partner Sergei, who isn't magical at all. If you're looking for a series that shows relationship development and isn't filled with explicit sex scenes, this could be your lucky day. :)

Weakest in the series so far, this book changes to format and shakes up the characters. The changes are nice to see but they don't always work well.
For one thing, the actual retrieval in the book is handled almost completely off-camera and takes place between a couple of chapters in the middle. It doesn't really add much other than a reason for Valere and Sergei to meet a couple of times. A marked--and quite acceptable--change in the formula, but having it there at all just confuses reader expectations.
The larger plot of vigilantes against fatae (magical creatures) is the center of the book. While each book has made the conceit that fatae are a secret and almost no one--even the super-secret and super-effective group The Silence--knew about them, the numbers of people interacting with this plotline and the ease with which they get seated and served in restaraunts makes that disbelief harder to suspend.
The revelation about the source of the attacks and the motivation behind them, while completely predictable, are well handled and move the story and the series nicely, especially the reactions of the various major player (Valere and Sergei, of course, but also the Council, the Lonejacks, and Andre, Sergei's old boss in The Silence). There is some contrived action to prevent Sergei from actually performing any real violence for some reason, but Valere gets to get into some action during a grand, 200+ person melee between "our side" and the vigilantes.
Gilman writes the retrieval scenes very well. She gives us what Valere is thinking, what she is doing, and builds the tension of the hunt. Unfortunately, she doesn't do as well with larger fight scenes, even four or five people. The climactic battle is just a mess until Valere separates and fights one-on-one against a group of Talented opponents. It's a little hard to follow why it's one-on-one, and there is some confusion in th text about thei relative power levels, but it's a good scene and the simultaneous and separate situations between her and Sergei puts P.B. in a great bind.
Speaking of which, the growing understanding of the P.B. relationship is nice to see and well handled. I think that has some great potential for the series. Similarly, KimAnne Howe, the dangerous head of the Mage Council, has a larger role in this book and her appearance in future books should be a whopper. A powerful character holding all the cards is a good foil, but a powerful character working her way up from the shadows is interesting. As you can expect, things get decidedly political on her end.
Which leaves only the relationship between Valere and Sergei. Nothing unexpected happens, but it is handled passably well and bodes well for the next book(s) as they deal with (and alter) their partnership.
Two bits of clean-up:
1) This book continues the relieving trend of not increasing Valere's magical power. She picked up a new trick in the book before, but not one she can use at-will (and never wants to risk again). Most series in this genre would have her increasing in power regularly. It's unnecessary (she's effective as she is). She has extended and practiced her trick from book one (making cages for artifacts), but that doesn't seem the same.
2) She "resolves" the excellent background story about the horse, Old Sally. I like that story a lot and her obsession with it added character. I really hope it comes back.
Overall, it's a good book but not as strong as the rest of the series. It isn't so bad that I fear for the next one, though, and it pushes a variety of plot arcs in great directions without actually destroying any others.

Eh. The previous three books were more entertaining then this one. I liked getting to know P.B. a little better, but they pretty much told you what was going on in the first few chapters and then you just had to wait for everyone else to catch up. The retrieval had absolutely nothing to do with the story and I really wasn't feeling the relationship between her and Sergei this time. Then they threw in the current addiction thing, which totally screwed that all up... I also didn't like how it took over 100 pages to catch up to the first chapter...especially when nothing really happened in those pages except more boring political stuff. Hopefully the next one is better as I've already bought it, but if not I may have to abandon this series...

Burning Bridges represents a major turning point in the broader story as the battle between the various factions of the Cosa and the Nulls moves from the shadows to outright conflict. In the broad scheme, this is a good move for the story. The book itself, unfortunately, is somewhat lacking. The plot bounces around, the writing feels sloppy, characters seem to suddenly know things they had no way of knowing a few pages earlier without explanation, etc. The random retrieval job thrown into the middle of the story serves essentially no purpose beyond reminding us of Wren's occupation. Again, a good move for the series, a bad implementation for the book.

turning into a big fantasy series instead of a fun mystery adventure. where's the actual retrieving?
May 11, 2019
Some series lose a lot of their charm during a re-read... I loved Gilman's "Retrievers Series" the first time around, but now, eight years later, I'm starting to see the problems, especially four books in:
The world-building is solid and still fascinating, from the concept of magic to the different species.
The characters are likeable and relatable and I've always liked that the romance is not the more usual will-they-won't-they or love-at-first-fight story but about two people who have known each other for a long time and gradually become more than friends. It's lovely.
But the plot... the series' story-arc should have you at the edge of your seats, but, sadly, the pacing is so uneven - often simply terribly slow - that it's difficult to keep interested. Especially in this, the fourth, book where the original retrival-storyline all but disappears and most of the story consists of people sitting in meetings or discussing the same topics over and over again. It doesn't help that the cast of characters is steadily growing. And than there are the recaps from the last three books for those readers who have just joined us... it's boring. Plus, this is obviously a filler-book to prepare the great finale and even if things get more dynamic at the end, it's still mostly boring until we get there.
I actually skipped large parts of this book. What I enjoyed very much were the little quiet and domestic moments that were just about the main characters, what they loved and thought and the dynamic between them.
I will finish my re-read of this series in the hope that the pacing picks up again with volume five, but this really shows the difference between a good book that's fun the first time around when everything is new, and a great book that you can read again and again, just for the joy of it.
Edit: I gave up on the re-reading of the last two books in this series - it's not worth the time and frustration. I'm still happy that I liked the series so much the first time around, it was obviously what I needed at that time, but I think I have simply changed or am looking for different things in a book nowadays.
I would recommend the "Retriever" books for an interesting take on magic and good character dynamic, but be warned of the extremely slow pacing.

Gilman is choosing to combine paranormal suspense with paranormal romance. We are two-thirds through the series, and the sides are very clearly marked. The residual pain from the death of Tree-Taller, an artist who was loved by all sides, has left both Wren and Sergei reconsidering their paths.
Sergei is in trouble, he is becoming addicted to the rush that current brings. Wren is more and more aware that her precious gift of hiding in plain sight is lessening. What comes next is challenging, and very bloody.
In the bleakest of winters, a truce between the Cosa Nostadamus, the lone-jacks, and the Fae has been negotiated. The nulls, those who do not sense current are still a menace. The most abhorrent group is comprised of the Silence. They intend to destroy magic by any means necessary or not. Disgustingly kidnapping and brainwashing are part of their dirty tricks. Readers of the first books know that Sergei was a member of this organization. Will this fact alone break the bonds between Wren and him?
This is not a stand alone. In fact, Gilman uses Burning Bridges to introduce protagonists in her new series, Paranormal Scene Investigations. Books set in winter, often are mushy sentimental paeans to holiday cheer. Not this one. This is a hard cold read leaving this reader clamoring for volume 5.
Recommended for readers of fantasy, romance and urban contemporary fantasy. Violence buy suitable for older young adults as well as adults.

It was entertaining and well written. I would definitely read another in the series.

For some reason I found this story depressing. Perhaps because I was sick when I read it.
September 4, 2012
Our heroine is Wren Valere, a talented young woman in her late 20s who is a lonejack, a solo magic user raised up in a soloist tradition. She works as a “retriever” – essentially a thief with considerable magical talents. Someone stole something from you – something magical, dangerous, powerful? You pay Valere and her “manager” Sergei Didier, and she’ll steal it right back.
New York City is a vibrant place at any time, but in LAG’s world talents (those who feel and manipulate current) and nulls (those who neither feel nor manipulate current/magic) intersect constantly, and it’s not always a pretty sight. We have the Cosa Nostradamus -- the fatae who live their own magic, the nonhuman griffins, piskies, dryads, etc. – and those humans who are either lonejacks of varying power and skills, or members of The Council. The Council prefers to run everything in its own city. They want control of all magic-users – but they’ll settle for intimidation.
And then there are the humans who have no magic of their own, but know it exists and want to know what’s going on in every nook and cranny of the city. Among the most powerful are a group called The Silence. They hire lonejacks to work with them, their interface staff called “handlers” who manage the “talent.”
Wren, who specializes in never being seen, who keeps to herself and avoids all Council and fatae politics, slowly finds herself being drawn into the intricate games of The Council and The Silence. The fatae-hating humans are hunting – and some of them are buried deep within The Silence. The Council and Silence have their own traitors, and will force the Lonejacks and fatae to either join them or fear them. Wren becomes a lightning rod for all that is to come, and a spokesperson for a fragile fatae and lonejack alliance that may not survive its first dawn.
Laura Anne Gilman’s books are intricate, and she has a trick of dropping you into her characters’ lives so at first you can’t see the story for the trees, shall we say. But her work rewards patience. For intricate urban fantasy, give her books a try. There are benefits to starting with the first book, but I think they stand alone. They do get progressively darker, though.

This series is firmly in the UF category, with a capital U. It even takes place in NYC. Wren is a "Retriever" which is a fancy way of saying a paid-to-swipe, high talent cat-burglar. But she also has magic. Of course, magic in this series is really an ability to manipulate "current" which is very similar to electrical current.
The world is populated by non-magical "Nulls", magic-users or "Talent" and the inherently magical creatures called "Fatae". It's also rife with politics. Magical organizations of the Cosa Nostradamus, the Council, Lonejacks, and the Fatae as well as a secret supposedly do-gooder agency, The Silence. In this book, the storyline of the previous three books continues as some Fatae murders bring a head to the tension between these organizations.
This series is fairly original, IMO so it's hard to draw similarities to other series, but the tone of the writing along w/being a UF lead me to suggest that you'd like this series if you like Kat Richardson's Greywalker series, Phaedra Wilson's Zoe Martinique series, Toni Andrews' Mercy Hollings series, and possibly even Marjorie M. Liu's Dirk & Steele series (though those are PNR).

I read this series for the first time when I was in college, back before I was on Goodreads, and my only reviews were in my head.
It’s a series I return to time and again! Somehow classic urban fantasy while also being delightfully unique, Wren and the gang are officially old and beloved friends. PB is an absolute fictional gem. Wren and Sergei are flawed in a way that is believable and real. And Laura’s unique take on magic is one that has always stuck with me.
I’ve vacillated on ratings between 4 and 5 for these books over the years, but realistically, I’ve read them more times than I can track. That earns 5 stars in my book! Highly recommend this series and the PSI series… and thoroughly enjoying my return to them.
Side note: I tend to reread on audio, and the narrators for both series are excellent!

This series is how it always is. Full of twists and turns and steady. It isn't one of those stories that keeps you on the edge of your seat and Burning Bridges isn't impossible to put down but it is interesting and the story is very good. This writing isn't poor nore is this a suspense novel. Wren, Sergei and their crew are steady characters with depth and interest. You want to know whats going to happen to them next but you can wait until you are comfortable to find out. I want to read the next one and see how they are going to deal with the new sets of problems they have encountered, and for the first time ever I am actually worried about Wren, she is near her limit and I wonder how much more of the stress she can take.
August 27, 2012
What I liked best about this book is that it rounds out the story-world of the Cosa Nostradamus,which I first encountered in the PUPI series (which I like much more, perhaps because I started with them?). I've never liked Sergei, and this book was no exception. I'm not sure I like The Wren all that much. I do like the world, though, which may explain why I keep reading... As of right now, it's been a few weeks since I read this book, and I can't really remember much about it all. Probably not a great sign.
February 6, 2008
Ms Gilman continues to keep the characters fresh, the politics twisted, and her version of a world where the supernatural co-exist with normal folk is while not wholly a new take on things, certainly different enough to make the reader want to learn more about the ins and outs and laws of nature.
Despite the different edge of Gilman's world though, her retriever series still fits quite neatly into the 'Modern Urban Fantasy Genre.'

I liked this book a bit less than the first three, I think because it was somewhat depressing. Events reach a breaking point, and many mysteries are revealed. People die, or are destroyed, and betrayals happen on all sides. Still, it's worth four stars for being exciting, engaging, and making me want to read more. I can only hope the next book has an upturn, though with events the way they are, that seems somewhat unlikely... we'll see (I hope!)

Laura Anne Gilman is amazing at layering interactions, reasoning and action in her Retrievers series.
Burning Bridges took the next step and while there was a lot of action in the book, the step was a small one, peeling back only a small section of the history and back story of the Talents, Fatae, Council and the Silence.
I love where this storyline is going and can't wait to read the next book!

Apparently I bought this one on sale, as I realized something was missing when I started listening to it. So I went back and bought the first book in the series before resuming this one. But I missed that there were two other books between the first one and this one. I guess that explains why I found some parts of this book confusing! I enjoyed it well enough to consider listening to the two books I missed, but I'd prefer to find those on sale.

This book brought out the problems with Wren and Sergi's partnership as well as there romance since it has gotten physical and not just emotional. It shows them trying to adjust to the differences. It is also where they cut the ties to the silence as well as the mage council. Each book has shown more growth and development.

Valere has always cherished her invisibility as it makes her job as a retriever safer. Now, with the fatae and the talented under attack, she has to come forward and take part of the coordinated efforts to protect those she cares about. Of course, that means burning bridges to prior credos.
The book has lots of drama and suspense in a paranormal setting.

This book was the first one I picked up in the series, and it sounded like a solid concept. However, it had a lot of action which took place outside the story, and made some of the script sound odd. It would probably have worked better for me if I had been familiar with the whole series, rather than jumping in here.
May 23, 2015
I really love the world Gilman created, complete with the complex characters, relationships (romantic and otherwise, politics, and racial tensions. Her world building is suburb. I also like that they didn't just leave the retrieving end of things out amongst all the going ons.
(though the research fail of having a Sikh mentioning Allah made me roll my eyes).

It's clear why this is the book that made me put the series down initially... A slower paced book (although, it's clearly not meant to be) than the previous books, with far more internal "politicking" going on...
I'm glad I made it through, this time around, and I look forward to the following two books.

Something is missing from this series. The plot moves great, the characters are awesome, but I just can't get into the story. :(
Loved all the action, lots of fighting, a bit too much talking and planning. Great tension between Wren & Sergei.
Surprised how it all ended, and it will get me to read the next book to see where it goes from here.

Um...wow. The title is apt. Things really pick up in this book and the plot moves along pretty nicely. Things become chaotic and shit really hits the fan between the Fatae, Nulls, and Talents. Council & Silence and the gut kicker of them all - Wren & Sergei.
