Surprised by how much I loved it!

Revisado: 01-31-23

I think the Mindy recommendation pushed me over the edge of giving it a try. However, I just finished it and will look for other books from this author after this review.

I laughed in my car and almost cried a few times. I love how the main stories were from three women in different stages of life.

It also explored the dealing with the emotional legacy of generations which I haven’t seen in other works.

Running and Gunning

Revisado: 02-08-22

This tale wastes no time in starting the mythological action packed adventure. I️ enjoyed the monsters and Recon marines savvy in taking the fight to the enemy and the glimpses of this inhospitable world opening up but by bit through Connors eyes. Looking forward to the next installment.

No Rest For the Wicked

Revisado: 08-12-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Book 2 in the Rock band Fights Evil series. There is no rest for the 'sort of' wicked. This time around our pulpy heroes are relaxing with a cup of java and such when a pregnant waitress gives birth to flying poisonous serpents, the same type mentioned in the bible that Moses had to ward off with his staff. In the RBFE series anything cropping up out of Hell is possible.
Zach Bjorge is a fantastic narrator!

A number of Butler's fantastic fight scenes later we meet a snake handlin man and start to learn the awful truth about the snake worshipping cult of Apep. (I love that somebody is writing about Apep=Apophis besides me) These were some of my favorite moments in the book. The blending of myth, pseudo-Christian lore and just whacked out blues rock action.

I can't recommend these ebooks enough if you dig action packed occultic pulp!

Weakest effort to date

Revisado: 09-20-19

On the one hand Abercrombie is still an absolute master of language, tension and simile, but in the downside these characters are not their fathers and we lose for that. None of the children hold a candle to the previous ones we have come to love, fear and despise.

I️ still want to follow the journey and see what happens because Abercrombie is so damn good at drama etc, but I’d be lying if I️ didn’t admit this is his weakest book to date and doesn’t even give us a great finale, we are just left hanging to wait for the next one.

Fantastic Debut

Matthew Gilbert’s Dead Gods Due is an amazing debut which promises a lot of heart and humor along with a powerful fantasy setting.
This is one author to keep an eye on.

I was almost as riveted with this one as the first. I’m still impressed with the creative genius at play here.

The narrator was great, too.

Gripping

Revisado: 07-24-19

Loved this book, which was a surprise! I hadn’t heard of this author. My husband had this and I needed something to listen to. However, I just bought the sequel!

The world he creates with its multifaceted characters and cultures, each with their own language, is creative genius.

I’m sensitive to how women are portrayed and liked the female characters. It passes the Bechdel test.

I liked this so much I will look for other things by this author.
