Ben Aaronovitch's career started with a bang writing for Doctor Who, subsided in the middle and then, as is traditional, a third act resurgence with the bestselling Rivers of London series.
Born and raised in London he says that he'll leave his home when they prise his city out of his cold dead fingers.
Read the first part accidently. I thought I bought a non fiction book of the lost rivers of London. This is not that book. Oh boy what a roller coaster ride of excitement it was. Read all the existing ones in the series and now eagerly awaiting the next one
Review: This review is for the entire series (1-9).
This was a ton of fun. Historical in all ways while maintaining constant movement within a stream introspection/detection.
There were some abrupt endings and a big story line hole was Leslie’s confederacy and ability to escape every situation. Too obvious by half plus her abilities exceeding Peter’s, whom is constantly bumbling his magic.
HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH ALL THE GROSS SEXISM? I LIKED THE WORLD BUILDING BUT COULDN’T GET OVER THE MAIN CHARACTER WANTING TO STICK HIS PENIS INTO EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME.
HE GOT OVER IT. I THINK THEY EXPLAINED IT AWAY LATER BY HIM JUST BEING RLY YOUNG WHEN THE SERIES STARTED AND HE GREW THE FUCK UP
THAT GETS MUCH BETTER AS YOU GO, AND IS SORT OF EXPLAINED IN UNIVERSE. LOL I'VE ALSO NEVER BEEN BOTHERED BY DUDES WANTING TO FUCK ALL THE LADIES SO LONG AS THEY'RE NOT DEHUMANIZING ABOUT IT. I WAS BASICALLY CONSTANTLY HORNY AND TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO STARE AT BOOBS FROM 14-21 AS WELL.
