This book was even better than the first. The first one was important because it does lay the groundwork and introduce all the major players. So much of this two book series is so frightening and also believable, especially in this modern world. I so want to have a book club talk about all the technological possibilities that are created as a means of societal control. It sent shivers through me on more than one occasion.

O.M.G. Twisty cliffhanger

Not once, not twice, but three groan out loud surprises. Great characters- though, do THAT many people actually decide that killing someone is their best solution? What a rat’s nest.
HAVE to begin the follow-up right now, as I head home. Let’s see if Lily can slither away, or if the detectives are good enough to catch her.

This is one of the oddest books

I read this when it first came out. I had such an odd reaction to it. I absolutely could not figure out who I could recommend it to. But also, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It stayed in my head, it bothered me, but I didn’t hate it. It helped to listen to it. This time I still feel similar, though I have recommended it to folks. Always my recommendation starts with, I once had a glass of wine that tasted like leather. I can’t say that I liked it. But I also can’t say that I hated it. I kept drinking it all the way to the end, it was something I couldn’t stop. That’s how I still feel about this book…

Nearly everyone in this novel is a mess in one way or another, from creepy to asshole to fragile. Even so, I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Peter Swanson novel. Though there was some predictability, it wasn’t detrimental, and there were plenty of twists that I didn’t expect. I’m working my way through all of his novels, and this one makes me want to start whichever one is next up in my library.

Another Lethem novel to wrap around your brain. He doesn’t hurry, he doesn’t waste words either. An “End of the World” with all the characters that are sure to be there. Those you love and those you hate. A book to hear again after it has had time to percolate and settle in your brain.

Good performance and the story takes you on a journey, for sure. Many flawed characters and redemption comes slowly or not at all, much like real life.

Each one makes me want to go back and re listen to those before. Though Nightingale was not the main protagonist, Gussie and Lucie are great fun to spend an evening with.

This book was so much fun. I am just coming to Peter Swanson. Picked up his tiny Christmas mystery on a whim, then found this one. This book is so twisty and turn-y and unexpected. And now, I have a whole long list of new (old) books I want to read (spoilers be damned) in addition to more Peter Swanson.

Sampled and vetoed two books I thought I’d love, but wasn’t, before taking up this recommendation. Hallelujah! Hooked by the narrator, by the characters, by the story from the first chapter. Listened twice in succession. An orc run coffee shop is what I’d love in my life right now. And there’s a prequel! That’s up next.

I am hoping there are more stories to be written into this series. Give me stories about friendship and love and following your path up and then down. Give me those stories with orcs and dwarfs and a homunculus for good measure. Keep writing and narrating, please, Mr. Baldree.
