This is my first book of 2014, and man, we have hit the ground running.

In an earlier review I spoke of how refreshing it was to have a person of color, with a culture outside the United States, as a protagonist. This book continues that trend. I'm glad to have found it (Janni Sinner originally pointed me to this book in my Friends feed--before then, I'd never heard of it), but it's sad, and infuriating in this day and age, that such heroes are few and far between.

Yay, though I walk through the Valley of Death, I will fear no evil, for I am the meanest son of a bitch in this whole damn valley. )
