I read this for a second time because I've been enjoying the TV series.

The surprising thing to me is that I had completely forgotten huge parts of the story.

There are major differences from the TV series. These differences, to me, make it worthwhile to partake in both.

And there is a talking sloth. So that's a plus.

This kept me reading even though the closest thing to a talking cat is doberman that's had a stroke.

I've requested [b:Everybody's Fool|27068575|Everybody's Fool (Sully, #2)|Richard Russo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449609035s/27068575.jpg|47106939] because I want to know more about what happens to these people.

I'm not usually into illustrated novels or comics, but I'm glad I read this even though it is kind of sad.

I'm a big fan of Tom Gauld's cartoons and recommend his tumbler, You're all just jealous of my jetpack

Fairly early on, I reached a point where I just wanted Gamache and Beauvoir to get out of the monastery.

But they didn't get out until the book ended and [spoiler alert] it's not pretty even if the murderer was revealed.

You need to read Cory Doctorow's books about the future if you want to understand what is going on today.

No talking rodents in this novel, but there are Zeppelins.

It starts out with talking dogs. So I had a good feeling I was in for an enjoyable break from the bleak and the heavy.

An added bonus of this story is that part of the battle between good and evil is the struggle to promote the constitutional rule of law.

Frogkisser reminded me in a good way of the fun fantasy novels of A. Lee Martinez like [b:A Nameless Witch|225605|A Nameless Witch|A. Lee Martinez|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1312047382s/225605.jpg|218510].

This story doesn't need a sequel, but it would be fun to experience life with some of these characters again.

I'm glad I read this book and hope that Ms Walsh writes another novel. It would be great if it tells what happens next with Maureen.

I liked that this was a story set in Newfoundland that didn't have people going out in dories, upset about the dying fisheries.

Satisfying action sci-fi.

No talking cats, but there's robots who become sentient. Almost as good.

And the meta-physical pondering of what it means to be human is all very absorbable.

It's book one in a series. Book #2 seems to be out, but I don't see any sign of Book #3.

I really like [a:Paul McAuley|20433|Paul McAuley|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1367680738p2/20433.jpg], but did not like this book as much as others from him. Especially the ones in space and on other planets.

This is set in a dark, confusing future. I didn't really enjoy being there and didn't get as wrapped up in the characters as I would have liked.

Still, I'm glad I filled out the interlibrary loan form to get this book.

I completely enjoyed this book that is set in a different part of Ann Leckie's Ancillary universe. The tone and energy is nothing like the tone and energy in the Ancillary stories. But like those books, it is fun.

I liked:
- how different human cultures really can't understand each other and how the aliens are even less understandable than the humans;
- how likable various characters were; and
- the way gender and sexual orientation is treated.
