Sands of Memory by Melissa McShaneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
While not up to the previous book's level of tension, a decent, enjoyable adventure.
It's replete with Arabian Nights tropes, so not necessarily a super-original setting either.
The team accidentally unleash bad consequences on other people and escape without permanent damage themselves - in fact, in a better state than they start out in. So, also not my favourite from a moral-consequences standpoint.
In fact, it had enough flaws that I'm leaving it off my Best of the Year list, something I seldom do with a Melissa McShane book. That's not to say it was bad, just that I usually like her books a lot more than I liked this particular one. I don't regret buying it, but I hope the next one brings back the full level of tension (despite the team's now awesome power levels).
