Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Scavenger Door
Suzanne Palmer · 2021
72/100
👍 Worth It
Fergus Ferguson is one of the more charming protagonists in contemporary SF, and Palmer's wit keeps the globe-trotting artifact hunt moving even when the scavenger-hunt structure starts to feel repetitive. The finale earns its emotional payoff. A solid third entry for existing fans, though newcomers should start with the first book.
