I started reading Four and Twenty Blackbirds based on someone here, Dixie or Daffy, saying what an excellent book it was.

I found a lot of the narrative devices in The Baker's Boy really, really annoying, but liked other books by JV Jones so I pushed through. But imo, it really doesn't get any better, they're all about the same.

Her Cavern of Black Ice series is better written and The Barbed Coil is more interesting.
