I finished A Crown of Lights, the third book in Phil Rickman's Merrily Watkins series last night.
It's a series I cannot quite make up my mind about - I enjoy aspects of it tremendously, mostly the characters and settings, but the metaphysical/supernatural parts (which are important) leave me a bit cold, as I cannot really relate. That isn't a problem when I read straight fantasy/urban fantasy/paranormal books, but the religious mysticism in what is otherwise, by all appearances, straightforward contemporary realism, throws me off a bit.
In any case, I did enjoy it, a lot, and will certainly keep reading (especially as I've picked up all the books up to the tenth or so during various Amazon sales), but it's not a series where I can read several books in a row without nothing else in between.
