Once upon a time, I swore off this series; I was frustrated with the recycled plots and Rachel's inability to progress and cope. However, I received the last Hollows book as part of the early review program, and Harrison won me back with progress and resolution.
A Perfect Blood continues some of that progress and development, and while some of the angst and emotional turmoil is still there it is well-tempered by the actual plot.
What is most compelling about A Perfect Blood are the antagonists: their mindless hate and extremists efforts are frightening.
I'm learning to like the new Rachel, and learning to enjoy the series again.
