Sky Coyote

Sky Coyote (The Company, #2)Sky Coyote by Kage Baker

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The second in the series.
This time around the story is told from the perspective of a male character (far better than a teenage girl). The main character, is sardonic, logical and jaded; just my kind of man.
With a brief cameo from Mendoza (the girl from the first book) Sky Coyote take place further along in time filling in the space that the author intends this series to go. While there is not traditional plot, intrigue or suspense, the novel tells a tale. This tale takes a good poke at religion, science and philosophy.
This could have made a good stand alone book, but it was nice to know some of the back story. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who needs a fast pace intensity or anyone who is easily offended.
One of the gripes I have about the author is that she often writes long pieces of dialog that can be easily skipped without loosing any story or development. However I do enjoy making fun of people through wit an irony.
