This is really the first time I've re-read this series, and I must say it holds up well. Ms. Greenwood sometimes has a bit of a problem with her endings, and tidying up all the loose ends can tend towards a bit forced, but that's really the only structural flaw. And the books are just such fun to read that I can't complain too loudly. A Highly Recommended series. (And, for those who prefer or at least enjoy audio books, the Audible versions of these are very well done and read by Stephanie Daniel.) |
I finished
Blood and Circuses, and took a break to read
Candide, and then Weber's latest,
A Call to Arms. I didn't really enjoy
Candide, but did enjoy the second in this "early days of Manticore" series.
Next up,
Ruddy Gore, the next Phryne Fischer book.
