As New York City's only legal counsel to the Old Races, Margrit Knight stands precariously as the one mortal negotiator to five potent and often unpredictable groups. Called upon to hammer out a treaty among these rival factions, she is forced to reenter an underworld where allegiances are fluid and civil authority means nothing at all. The linchpin volume of the Negotiator trilogy is a worthy successor to C. E. Murphy's Heart of Stone.

3.5 - 4 stars. Although I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first book, it was still a pretty fun read. I'm fascinated with the bits and pieces of history being revealed about Janx and Daisani. Competing against each other, tbey still regard each other with certain kind of respect and seem to...
"I thought Heart of Stone (The Negotiator, Book 1) was a very good read, but its sequel, House of Cards, was even better. In it, Margrit (""Grit"") becomes increasingly involved in the world of the Old Races and I became increasingly unable to put down this book! I'm already sad that this is only go...
