Daughter of the Burning City - Amanda Foody

Another Friday, another day off, and another trip to the car dealership. Which, as it turns out, I didn't need to do, because the manufacturer issued a notice that the problem (slight fogging inside one of the headlights when it rained) was actually normal and that they'd only fix it if there was water pooling in the headlight. But I have my plates now, and I used the trip as an excuse to stop by one of the bigger grocery stores, so it wasn't a complete waste. I have good bread, and a few packages of the soup mix I like that I can't get in my own town.

 

I also spent the drive listening to this audiobook and I'm close to finally being finished with it. There's been a new revelation and, unless it turns out to somehow be false, Sorina using her illusion ability to create family members for herself has taken an even grosser turn. I was never a fan of this aspect of the book, which reminded me of James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge's The Dangerous Days of Daniel X. But I had at least thought Foody handled it a bit better. Now I'm not so sure.
