"The astonishing series about a young girl who befriends a cat hunting humanity continues with Volume 5, and the Season One finale, in which the consequences of how we encounter one another come into poignant and terrifying relief{u2014}especially on one September night, when an unexpected phone call demanding the return of the little white cat challenges everything the Ibrahims hold dear. They are not alone. Jingjing must contend with a rival he could never have anticipated, while Xanther must relinquish all she thought she knew as a far greater responsibility is set before her. Light wavers and pomegranates reveal their price as the effects of a great transition start to reverberate around everyone, Shnorhk{u2019}s efforts to resume playing music cannot escape history{u2019}s ghosts. Cas, in upstate New York, comes face-to-face with her lifelong nemesis in a candlelit rendezvous that presages the international crisis soon to come. As more lines tangle, O zgu r and Luther brawl with a future that may have chosen them long ago, and Isando rno crosses a line that will force him over the border into a country he has until now steadfastly refused. All the while, a terrible power roaming the world continues to grow..."--Amazon.com.… (more)

Incredible! Truly like nothing I've ever read before, this series captivated me from the first page. ( )

Having finished the five volume series (the season), I highly recommend these books. There are several running themes in the intricate interwoven plots that are fascinating; one concerns the possible erasure of past key incidents. At the end, I went back to the first volume, with a vivid memory of a scene: I couldn't find it. From volume to volume I went - not there. Designed erasure? It is quite the narrative construct. ( )

“If William Gibson, Michael Connelly, and Neil Gaiman wrote a series, it might end up looking like The Familiar.”
