Stiletto: A Novel | Daniel O'Malley

We pick series for car trips, and since husband hadn't read Blitz, we're working our way through the Checqay series (which I've listened to several times). This series is SO GOOD though I prefer Susan Duerden's narration to Moira Quirk's.

So many parts of this series make me giggle.

Battle Ground | Jim Butcher

This is one long battle sequence, hence the name. I found it very boring to read and ended up skimming most of the book.

Originally, Peace Talks and Battle Ground were one book. I would have preferred that. Cut a few bits out and make the narrative tighter and it would have worked. On its own, Battle Ground is a slog.

⬇️

PuddleJumper Because of the grand scale of things, many character details and plots got lost. Thomas was hardly mentioned for example.

The Murphy thing was very stupid and unnecessary. Harry didn't need more reason to fight. It was cheap.

It's still a well written book but I've not been enjoying this series as much. The last few books were very hard to read and don't have the re-readability of the early books.

Ruthiella Late series bloat… it‘s a danger , regardless of the series or genre, I think. 2d

Of course I have to switch it up for this one and feature my cousin Angel (far right). She really lives up to her name.

Look at that! It's become discoloured! 🤣

I'm going to start reading this for #CozyChristmas as I don't want this on my #Roll100 list for the third year. I know I've been avoiding it and with the recent disappointment of He Who Drowned the World, I will keep avoiding it

@peanutnine

peanutnine Oh no! Sequels are tricky, I hope this one doesn't disappoint! 2d

I liked this novella giving us more about Roman - an integral character in the Kate Daniels universe. I wish it was longer though, the first half was great, but then it rushed through the ending. I do look forward to more of this new spin-off. 4⭐️

Decided to revisit this one on a whim while I wait (im)patiently for her next Haven's Rock book to come out.

Meh. This one made me wonder why I read 3 of these.

RamsFan1963 Yes it was a very disappointing ending to a trilogy with lots of promise. 4d
