I just finished my final book of 2012 Curfew/Crybbe by Phil Rickman. I liked the idea of the story, but the execution and ending left much to desire. First of all it was too slow and too long, the ending alone took over 200 pages to come to it's completion. It also took a long time before it was clear what was happening in the book, it could have easily been 200 pages shorter without losing anything important to the story.

I also disliked the ending because after all that happened several bad guys escape and the two "heroes" just shrug their shoulders and tell each other "what can we do, they didn't do anything illegal".

Up next: Kisscut by Karin Slaughter. Not a very long book but with my new Kindle arriving tomorrow (if I believe the status page of UPS) I, hopefully, will spend a while setting it up and getting used to it.
