^ From Grave Peril, I believe.

But Thomas?! Uh, no, not what I have in mind.

Finished the fourth Alex Verus novel Chosen yesterday. I found out what my problem with the series is. It is actually the same problem that I have with the Dresden files... The writer is not quick enough. Only one more book to go and fortunately in August another. Oh well, after this book I think I will go for The Rivers of London by Aaronvitch. Let's see if that sparks the same interest.

Love the image of Bob.

I have to agree with BuyMore about Thomas though.

I've read both Alex Verus and Aaronvitch. Alex Verus did eventually grow on me but I guess that was partly because I kept comparing it to the Dresden files in the beginning, which probably isn't fair. I supposed it does have it own charms and I did end up liking the series. Aaronvitch wasn't too bad but I think that it's very easy to feel lost if you lose concentration/focus while reading (ie if you keep getting distracted like I was LOL). At least that's how it was for me.

All in all though, nothing beats Dresden. LOL. (but then I am already biased)

So far I have only read the first book in the Alex Verus series. I did enjoy it but I was also guilty of comparing it to Dresden.

Are those covers reissues or originals?

I think the ones you offered for the first post of this thread are much more beautiful. The map is lovely though.

They are the originals.

I think so too. The map is sold directly by Priscilla Spencer in a larger size (Ducky and Cowboy can both fill you in on the specifics).

Naw, that's Ducky's department. I never did pull the trigger on the map.
