Teresa's Reviews > Finder

Beautiful throughout, heartbreaking in parts, Finder is an action/adventure mystery set in the Borderlands, where the Elflands have bled through to the modern world. The juxtaposition is uncomfortable at best. And though elves can come through to the human world, humans can't cross the Border. Orient is the Finder, a human born with the elven gift of finding objects. He teams with Ticker, an elf born with the ability to fix any mechanical device. A Bordertown cop yanks Orient's chain, blackmailing him into helping her look for a drug dealer. The drug is mutagenic and the promise is, it makes humans into elves. Unlike with most drugs, that's only mostly a lie. One of my favorite novels ever. Definitely my favorite Borderlands story.
