This is an interesting book. I'll have to admit I liked this one better than the first. But this one is really mostly about P'gell. She meets up with this Prince, seduces him, and then marries him 2 weeks later. They're getting ready to head back to his home country, Karifistan, when the Spirit, and the Prince, both discover that there's more to P'gell's story than anyone had previously known. It's seems that P'gell met her 1st husband, 1st of 5, in Karifistan when she was young and backpacking around the world. He was a doctor and they were deeply in love. But he was also in love with his work. He was tricked in to going out to a village, supposedly to help someone, and then ambushed and killed by the Prince and his guards. Since then, P'gell swore that she would make the Prince pay for what he did to her, and her husband. So that's what the whole scheme was all about. And on their wedding night, she killed him. Of course neither the Spirit nor the police can take P'gell into custody, because she eludes it so well. Nice effort by Darwyn Cooke, J. Bone and Dave Stewart. The interior art was ok, but I really like that cover.
