As with my last review, this was a re-read for me as well. Well, most of it was a re-read. I had actually read the first two books of this series, A Darker Shade of Magic and A Gathering of Shadows, previously and decided to re-read them before reading the final book, A Conjuring of Light. I really enjoyed these books and what I enjoyed most are the two main characters. The first character we meet is Kell. An Antari (blood magician), Kell is from […]
Resources, as they say, become available.
Ben Aaronovitch’s “Rivers of London”/PC Peter Grant series continues – and completes, unless he’s planning on returning to this form after The Hanging Tree, which is next, and a standard novel – its dip into the medium of graphic novel with Night Witch, with a very mytharc-y story. Again, sorry if “mytharc” is a thing non-X-Files fans don’t say. Anyway, because it’s a story that is much more linkable to the overall arc of the series than Body Work was, I much prefer it, if […]
Your friendly neighborhood late medieval manor house often had a fish pond.
It’s been years and years and years since the last time I read a graphic novel, and this may sound crazy, but I was actually a little nervous about whether I’d be comfortable enough with the format to make this transition in the Peter Grant series. Body Work is the continuation of the “Rivers of London”/PC Peter Grant series from Ben Aaronovitch. I mis-copied the info, and I thought that Body Work belonged after Foxglove Summer, but there’s an indication that it comes after Broken […]
There’s a Lot Going on Here.
I think if I tried to fully explain the plot of The Invisible Library, we’d be here all day. This book has a LOT going on. Let me see if I can just skim the surface. Irene is a Librarian at a special Library that exists outside of space and time. Her job is to visit different worlds and collect books for the Library. Original printings, special books that only exist in one universe instead of in all of them, stuff like that. She’s sent […]
In which I try to start getting caught up on all my long overdue reviews… yikes…
Soooo yeah. It happened. I started this CBR knowing that I NEEDED to stay on top of the reviews. That lasted until April. <sigh> #thestruggleisreal I really HAVE read many books since then, but the problem was reading on vacation where there was limited internet access and the inability to post anything. Things have derailed since that point. So today, I am attempting to get back on track a bit. Hopefully. SO! My last review was for A Darker Shade of Magic, the first book […]
God bless busybody community matriarchs, and all that sail in them.
More, please. More, more, more. I just love me some Peter Grant. And fair warning to the reader who may be interested in this series: this book, Broken Homes, which is Book 4 of the “Rivers of London” series, isn’t the strongest of the bunch. But it’s still a delight and a treat, and I will fight anyone who isn’t a fan. Listen, I have five more “Dark Tower” books to read in the next five weeks, but I still just checked out Foxglove Summer […]
