Such a fun book. The theme song from Wild Wild West played in my head the entire time I was reading, though.

Review coming tomorrow!

“Logic doesn’t work on Wayne.”

"I bought a ward against it off a traveling fortune-teller,” Wayne explained. “It lets me add two ’n’ two and get a pickle.”

How deep Wayne can go into a persona amuses me immensely.

She wasn't particularly fond of being referred to as an "ornament." But she was fond of remaining unshot, and so silence seemed prudent.

“It’s not anythin’ like that, mate. Don’t worry. You’re pretty enough, particularly through the coppers, if you know what I mean.”
"The coppers?”
"Sure. Word with a lot of curves, like you. You have a pretty accent too, and some nice bounce to you in the cloud area.”
"Dare I ask what that is?”
"The white, puffy things that float high above the fruitful land where the seeds are planted.”
She blushed even further.

Wayne and his accents and disguises are the best.

"Wayne's a little attached to that hat, Waxillium said. "He thinks it's lucky."

"It is lucky. I ain't never died while wearing that hat."

Can't fault his logic.

This dinner conversation is killing me.

Steris is so calculating. I love it.
