Last Call

I felt pretty meh about this book. I think it was mostly because it was about something I'm not much interested in... poker. It had an additional complexity of the Tarot mixed in the game, a variation called Assumption which I never really understood, and so many bad guys I lost track until a bunch of them got killed off. It's basically an urban fantasy/magical realism tale with an alternate history bent. It's written well with decent prose. But with all this, it never hooked me. It won Powers the 1993 World Fantasy Award.
