Did I say Ms Penny was getting dark in [b:The Brutal Telling|6449551|The Brutal Telling (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #5)|Louise Penny|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327952311s/6449551.jpg|6639657]? Ha. That was like a fluffy cloud blocking the sun for a few minutes compared to Bury Your Dead.

But still, what are we going to do? Stop reading about Inspector Gamache? I don't think so.

I feel like I know a lot more about Plato, Socrates and Aristotle now. And more about Greek gods.

I don't feel the same affection for the Just City series as I do for most of Jo Walton's other books, but if she writes another one, I'm in.

There's not much point in reviewing this book. If you're ready to read it, you've read the earlier books about Inspector Gamache and Three Pines and you're not going to stop now.

Even if I warn you that Ms Penny is getting dark.

I enjoyed this thoroughly. The technology is so weird that you could argue it's fantasy, not science fiction. And I didn't understand a lot of what was going on. But it pulled me along. I'm looking forward to the next volume that is due out in April 2017.

It kept me guessing. I feel like I'm in a much longer novel about the people Gamache keeps running into.

And I'd really like to get a long weekend at that Auberge. But I hope anyone who doesn't get invited along realizes it's to prevent one of us from getting murdered.

Inspector Gamache's facing a conspiracy against him was more gripping than the murder investigation.

It brought back fond memories of John Cross reciting her poems to me.

This is one of those books where I must have read a review and thought I should reserve it. Then it came in and I had no memory of why I reserved it.

The book is set at a series of comic conventions and follows a group of people who come together from going to the conventions. I thought it was going to be a fantasy or sci-fi story, but it isn't.

It's mostly about a mother and her son, and a bit about how it's tough to be a comic book writer.

I liked the story and liked the characters, but didn't love it. I think if you're interested in comic books or fantasy and sci-fi television, you might want to read this.

This story is set in Toronto, Vancouver and Sri Lanka. I loved reading the Sri Lanka parts, the protagonist even ate at the restaurant I had breakfast from every day.

The Sri Lanka parts describe some of the horror from the 80s. I arrived after that and reading this made it more vivid.

It's Shyam Selvadurai so it is incredibly well written. But it is not a happy story.

Also, the protagonist spends a lot of time being angry at other people. Often with good reason. But sometimes not. And I don't like being around angry people, I've discovered.

Sandman is still in Hell. This story moved along and then it was over. It didn't put me in a place that I want to be.

It moved along, but Sandman Slim has moves from LA to Hell. Not metaphorically. This just wasn't compelling enough for me.

And no talking cats.

If you're into philosophy and gender and science fiction, this is a must read.

If you're not into stories where you don't know what is going on, this may not be for you.

By the end of this book, I started to feel like I had a bit of a clue and then it turned out this is only the first of two volumes.

No talking cats or rats, but there are tiny toy soldiers that have been brought to life and they're pretty cool.
