Martha Wells' City of Bones
This is an earlier Wells novel, which means it is interesting and cool, but not quite as awesome as her later series (Raksura and Murderbot). It’s sort of a post-apocalyptic fantasy novel, and it’s too complicated to explain, but the protagonist is a guy who's sort of a marsupial and therefore not totally accepted in the city, but he and his pal make a living as experts on ancient relics. And then the local head magic dude (and one of his students--she’s also a POV character) hire him to track down some super rare stuff. Like I said, super interesting world-building; I’d read a whole series with the academics and the magic ppl and the politics. The ending felt a little flat, which does make me wonder if more was planned? Still, an enjoyable read. It just made me want to reread Wells' other stuff. :) B+.
