I continue to love this series. Great main character. Great voice. Great mix of mystery and resolution. Great mix of short and long term story lines.Really, there's nothing here I don't like. And given how critical I can be, I hope you all realize how huge a statement that is coming from me.... I listened to this one on audiobook. And the Narrator is absolute top-notch.
Best of the series for me! Dark humor was excellent, mystery was fantastic, and we finally get to know what kind of creature Molly is. It was worth the wait. Hope Ben will dish out more about her in coming books.
Well, that was fun.Readers who don't know the series should not start here, but rather, with the first book, Rivers of London or, in its US retitling, Midnight Riot.Readers who do know the series should not get spoilers, which leaves me with not much to say by way of a review. I liked this a lot, both in the new scenery and material specific to this volume, and the interstitial carrying-along of the larger series story arc, which is starting to take shape nicely. I want to reread it soon, but I
Re-Read 9/1/21:Gotta love getting run down by unicorns in the boonies.Still a great UF. :)Original Review:This continues to be one of the very best UF series out there for a very good reason... It's always the careful attention to detail. Proper if you're a copper.Honestly, I think this one might have hit me in the feels even more than the previous ones even though the last book's zinger was a doozy. I think it had everything to do with the fact it was a massive hunt for missing children.Even th...
Aaronovitch‘s urban fantasy series continues to be a delight. Whilst this fifth entry offers something slightly different, it continues to have all the elements that makes this series perfect.Swapping the London setting for a trip to a rural Herefordshire village shows the strength of the characters and mythology the author has created.Our main protagonist P.C. Peter Grant needs a break from the capital after the events from the previous book, he jumps at the chance to help solve the missing chi...
'Foxglove Summer' follows my odd/even prediction for this series. 4 star odd books and 3 star even books. There is a reason behind this I think, but that would involve spoilers sweetie.Peter Grant's life has changed dramatically since he became an apprentice wizard cop. He is thoroughly entrenched into the magical world now, with several magical women on the fly and others left by the wayside because they may have been succubi or vampires. He is a smart guy and a good cop, who likes to bend the
I haven't yet been able to review a Peter Grant book immediately after finishing. I suppose I'm basking in book afterglow. Once again, Aaronovitch writes an engrossing, unpredictable urban fantasy. A good story, a generous sprinkling of dark police humor, decent police procedural all combine for a read that fully occupied my Sunday afternoon. Chuckles as I started:Sarcasm about family:"I sighed--policing would be so much easier if people didn't have concerned relatives. The murder rate would be
3.5 really. Not my favourite in the series but better than other books that I’ve rated 3 starsStill excited to continue with this serious as audiobooks
Either this story was way better than most of the others, or taking a (long) break from the series helped reboot my enjoyment of it, because I read this one quite quickly compared to the last one in the series.This one doesn't really push the Faceless Man storyline forward, other than some phone interactions with you-know-who after that person you-know-what'd in the last book and what appears to be a dire warning.But honestly, the fae storyline in this one was fantastic.
Posted to The Literary Lawyer.ca Aaronovitch Shakes it Up! - 5 Stars Aaronovitch does the right thing for this series. He takes the main character out of the city, puts some of the ongoing and unanswered questions on the shelf and make Peter Grant shine on his own. The story structure is a marked departure from the first four books but, in my opinion, is one of the best in the series. Plot summary In the British countryside, a couple of children have gone missing. Peter Grant's governor send...
Another one in the excellent Peter Grant series.This time Peter makes a trip to the countryside to support the local police in a case of missing children.It’s hard to say anything about the content without giving too much of the story away. We (and Peter) definitely learn a lot about English forests, history and mythology. Also there are clear hints that the case of the faceless man is still ongoing.What I particularly liked was, that Peter could finally determine, what kind of creature Molly is...
A brand new change for Peter! He’s out of London and has no Nightingale to cover up his back during the meeting with some bad big muscular princesses Lunas poking around and some other crazy fairy stuff. I admired how Peter shines as a character being left alone in the magic field. He definitely grew up to be more self-confident and skilled. And he has a girlfriend worthy his magical self. Yay! Also it was cool to know more about the mysterious Ettersberg and to my joy there are still enough my...
3/28/21 Just had to look up the term "Midwich Cuckoo colored hair" because I had no idea what that meant. Apparently, it means platinum blonde. A Google search uncovered the following information: In 1957, John Wyndham published a science fiction book titled, "The Midwich Cuckoos." The book is based in an English village where women were impregnated by parasitic aliens. The resulting offspring have blonde hair, silvery skin and golden eyes. While I am here, I may as well post my favorite quotes
