Left-Handed Booksellers of London | Garth Nix

pick

I loved Garth Nix‘s Sabriel and the other Old Kingdom books, so naturally I had to try this series. It‘s fun to see my own adolescence reflected in the setting and I generally liked the characters (though Merlin did irk me quite a bit). The last third or so goes at a breakneck pace and I wish he had slowed down a bit, but I‘m invested enough to try the next book(s) in the series.

Assassin of Reality | Dyachenko

Technically, this is the first line of the first chapter, not the prologue, but… And I know it‘s late, but…
“Alexandra woke up a split second after her dark blue Skoda crossed the center line and drifted into the oncoming traffic.”

White Hot | Ilona Andrews

This husband and wife team is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. One series had space chickens, and now this one has a ferret heist.

ravenlee The ferret heist is one of my favorite scenes in this series! I liked the raccoon companion in the first book, too, however briefly mentioned. 4d

Sace @ravenlee the one that took a juice cup upstairs? YES! 4d

Sace @wanderinglynn So far so have I! I‘ve mainly been going the audio route because my library has them, but I might have to consider purchasing physical copies. 4d

ravenlee @wanderinglynn @Sace the only series I haven‘t loved was the Edge, and I only read the first one. All the others are favorites, and I‘ve been enjoying the Graphic Audio versions if the Kate Daniels books on my current reread. Highly recommend! When that‘s finished I‘m going to try Innkeeper from GA. 🤞🏻 3d

Sace @ravenlee I listened to the graphic audio the Innkeeper Chronicles. I agree that Graphic audios are great. 3d
