We are able to see the world shaped as anyone who believes in something out of the norm is placed at the fringes of society. As a nice parallel to the magic element, de Pierres has a strong political subplot. My favorite elements were that of a spirit guide and the facets of many cultures are woven into an investigation. Virgin quickly realizes that her world is not what it seems and de Pierres navigates this storyline well. “The beautiful thing about Peacemaker is the mystical. There were plenty of twists, turns, and double crosses… Peacemaker is a good sf mystery for people looking for something a little different. “Tired of the same old thing when it comes to urban fantasy? Look no further than Virgin Jackson.” “ Peacemaker rollicks along at a cracking pace, and I found myself holding my breath in anticipation at times, which is always a good sign! I got to the end of the book and flipped the last page in disappointment, because while the story ended well (albeit definitely set up for the next volume), I simply didn’t want it to stop. “Move over stale f/sf themes enter: Peacemaker, a wholly original and thrilling fantasy adventure.” A fun romp that is much more than the parts which comprise it.” “This is the first novel by Marianne de Pierres I’ve read, and I hope to read more about Virgin Jackson and (perhaps) Nate Sixkiller.
