More of the same, which is alright if you like it

The October Daye series is fun, I don't actually like the protagonist that much, she makes absurd and self-destructive choices. I'm more interested in the constellation of friends and allies she has built around herself, they are much more interesting. And I like the remixed lore from fairy tales, how they are woven into the fabric of the modern Bay Area of California. This book was more of the same, but good enough.
