In this spirited sequel to the acclaimed novel The Rook, Myfanwy Thomas returns to clinch an alliance between deadly rivals and avert epic—and slimy—supernatural war.
When secret organizations are forced to merge after years of enmity and bloodshed, only one person has the fearsome powers—and the bureaucratic finesse—to get the job done. Facing her greatest challenge yet, Rook Myfanwy Thomas must broker a deal between two bitter adversaries:
The Checquy—the centuries-old covert British organization that protects society from supernatural threats, and ...
The Grafters—a centuries-old supernatural threat.
But as bizarre attacks sweep London, threatening to sabotage negotiations, old hatreds flare. Surrounded by spies, only the Rook and two women who absolutely hate each other, can seek out the culprits before they trigger a devastating otherworldly war.
Stiletto is a novel of preternatural diplomacy, paranoia, and snide remarks, from an author who "adroitly straddles the thin line between fantasy, thriller, and spoof "(Booklist).

Opinie krytyków
Year's Best in "Fantasy" -- The Reading List Council Awards
"I just loved this book. If you think Daniel O'Malley couldn't top The Rook, you were wrong. STILETTO is as satisfying and spellbinding as his first book, with a new cast of magic-wielding humans called the Grafters. Myfanwy Thomas, the Rook, is trying to broker a truce between the Grafters and her own Checquy, but a third party is trying to prevent this truce by any means possible...including Myfanwy's assassination."

Das grösste Negativ ist aber ein narrativer Trick, um einen Twist zu erreichen, der mit der gewählten Erzählweise überhaupt keinen Sinn macht. Ich frage mich schon, wieso Editoren solche Dinge durchgehen lassen...
Das klingt jetzt alles sehr negativ aber ich habe die Geschichte und vor allem die Welt trotzdem genossen - einfach mit halb zugekniffenen Augen/Ohren, um die Schwächen zu übersehen/-hören.
Faszinierende Welt, mäandernde Geschichte
