Reviews and Comments

I read this because the author wrote a sci-fi novel I enjoyed.

This is not sci-fi. It's about a girl from Montreal who gets sent to Los Angeles to stay with her punk rock dad for a while. She doesn't fit in and she hates it.

It was sort of predictable, but I enjoyed the trip. I'd actually like to know what happened in the next part of Katy's life.

Oh my goodness. This feels like it could be the last story about Armand Gamache.

That would be sad.

Minor quibble: The judge bangs her gavel from time to time. Except Canadian judges don't use gavels.

A charming story.

I can't think of anything to say about this that won't give spoilers.

It's hard to say anything about this book without giving spoilers. But it's not like my review of the ninth Inspector Gamache book is going to make you start the series or not.

So all I'll say to fellow Gamache followers is that I have mixed feelings about the way this ended, and I have to read up on a certain group of children so that I don't base my understanding of their lives on the fictional counterparts in How the Light Gets In.

Yoon Ha Lee is on my must-read list now. I'm very happy to see that it looks like another book is coming in this series.

She has invented all new "technology" and ways of organizing society and has characters that are interesting and I care about.

A fun fantasy read. Not too deep or challenging. Could have used a talking rodent assistant, but when you have vampires, evil fairies, dragons, Zeppelins and genius detectives in your story, it's probably hard to work everything in. Although when it comes to talking rodents, it should be easy.

Cute fantasy novel. Would have been nice to have a talking rat, but it had other beings who made up for the loss.

I'm not usually into the Cthulu-type monsters, but I love this series and this is a satisfying volume. Except it does leave me wondering what Stross is going to do next and it could be years before we find out.

Great collection of stories about witches. Mostly good witches. And witches often have animals who talk.

I found some new authors to follow and enjoyed stories by authors I already know.

This book made me stay up past my bedtime two nights in a row.

It also made me feel devastated for the things that happened to the people in it.

Mr. Crummey is an awfully good writer. And he also allows his characters to do awful things and have awful things happen to them.

I usually try to avoid that, but I plan to read more of his books.

I enjoyed reading this even more than [b:Nobody's Fool|659388|Nobody's Fool|Richard Russo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1463435569s/659388.jpg|645468]. I was very happy to learn the continuing story of many of the characters. And surprised by who also became a major character in this book and how likable he was.

Also, I might have liked this book more because it has more wackiness in it.
