Contains Tinker and the sequel, Wolf Who Rules.

Follow genius-inventor Alexander Graham Bell (a.k.a. Tinker) as she attempts to navigate Pittsburgh/Elfhome politics. She may be an elf now, but Tinker's still thinks like a human - unfortunately, being human in Pittsburgh these days isn't easy. Complete with not-so-mythical creatures like Elves, Tengu, dragons, and kitsune, and of course a smart-mouthed heroine who ties them all together. ( )

compilation of Tinker and Wolf Who Rules.

I loved Tinker - while wishing at times she was a more mature person I totally got into her braniac being. A flawed character I found her talents and personality to be totally endearing.

The fantasy / alternate reality setting of Pittsburgh was original and refreshing.

Wolf Who Rules isn't about, well, Wold Who Rules per se like you would think from the titles. It really still focuses on Tinker.

And while I would have enjoyed hearing more from her 'husband's point of view more - I was still caught up in the storyline to the end.

I really enjoy Wen Spencer's writings. ( )
