| I almost gave up halfway through. Similar to Peace Talks, this felt like a whole lot of necessary, but very dull setup. The third act is much better, however it doesn't makeup for the earlier chapters. I'm hoping the next entry is closer to Skin Game ...more | |
"Twelve Month’s
Excellent. Dresden Files #18 does not disappoint. I already wish the next book was available. We need a “Molly” stand alone series." |

"2.5ish stars.
A fun and funny but unspectacular space opera elevated by a clever narrating voice(s) and unique set-up. It could just be that I'm burned out on space opera right now but I just didn't enjoy this as much as I was hoping to. I expected it" Read more of this review » |

“It's my belief that history is a wheel. 'Inconstancy is my very essence,' says the wheel. Rise up on my spokes if you like but don't complain when you're cast back down into the depths. Good time pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it's also our hope. The worst of time, like the best, are always passing away.”

“Pong had mutated into large stand-up Sega consoles by '82 and here was some extra revenue the guys were well up for. So the space on the left of the entrance was to be the games room. Until two weeks to opening.
"Where's the cloakroom?"
"The what?"
"The cloakroom, the fucking cloakroom."
"What's your problem?"
"We don't have a cloakroom. We have special polished South African granite bar tops that we haven't told Erasmus about 'cause he has a thing about apartheid, we have a balcony balustrade made of shaped QE-fucking-2 mahogany, but we seem to have built an entire club without a cloakroom."
"Fuck."
Hence you did not pass the games room but the cloakroom, the only cloakroom in the Manchester with forty-two power points. if you ever wanted to do a bit of ironing, these people were there for you.”
