And then there are the goblins. There's always a new city to destroy - and to give Jackson credit, she always re-imagines her cities - in this case New Orleans - in a creative way, and she gives a real sense of place, lots of good, evocative description of the environment. There's always a Big Baddie to defeat. And not much is left of the city by the end.
I think that "The Courier" was well-plotted; I felt like in Traveler and in Outsiders the hero & heroine had it a little too easy, but in The Courier Lyris and Roman/Romeo have to struggle for their victory and suffer pretty serious setbacks on the way to a happy ending.
I admit that I never found Roman/Romeo particularly appealing - he is very tall and very skinny - and this might have been part of the reason why I didn't totally love this book.
