I loved the humor in it as well as the scope of the book. It really felt like I was reading just one story of this huge world the author created. I look forward to his future works. One last note, I hate animals as characters, especially if they can talk! Yet I am pretty sure that the second best part of this book is the main characters pet Irish Wolfhound. Loved that it took something I had hated and turned it into something I want more of. Great Read! 5/5
Tuesday and Wednesday I read Magic Bites by Illona Andrews
This is the book the internet told me to read if I liked urban fantasy but didn't want a lot of romance. A butt kicking female main character was a great start. A fun take that was new to me on the traditional vamps and weres! And a cool take on magic. I didn't manage this in one sitting but It was the last thing I did Tuesday and the first thing Wednesday morning. I really liked the story. I loved that it had some dead ends in it. It add to the feel of the book. My one criticism is that there is a point when the author seems to just give the main character a break rather than the character achieving it on her own. Still an easy 4/5 in my books. I look forward to the rest of the books in the series. I have a few other books in front of them in my cue but am happy to have found another good series to read.
Today I started reading Storm Front by Jim Butcher
I only just started it. I am only 50 pages in and liking it so far. More to follow! |
I love the Ilona Andrews series!!! One of my favorites!
I'm ambivalent about Dresden Files. Didn't care for them much.
