I hoped I would be more interested in this, but mostly I just find it kind of boring. Watson still isn't the most entertaining narrator, I guess, and I'm only a casual Sherlock fan at best, if at all. DNF'd, not even the promise of finally seeing some of that Lovecraftian horror can keep me reading.

starting the last novel now. still enjoying the series but still think i need a break in-between the parts.

last first snow was perhaps my favourite of them so far,... is it mainly because elayne kevarian is there? well. yes. but tara is in the last one...

finally making progress! and once again it made me realise i missed this style of fantasy. still pretty much all i expected, and wanted.

Still a fun series, my only complaint is that the omnibus is one huge ebook and there's no sense of completion on finishing one book.

On one hand, I am enjoying this more or less as I expected. On the other hand, I am so slow reading very slightly old Polish, it's giving me a mild existential crisis about who I am, so. There's that?

Fabian?????

Damn Isabel, you sure are making choices and doing things. I get it -- kind of -- but damn.

Barely 8 pages in and already we have a murder! Exactly as promised. This is going to be great.

Oh, I see what people meant when they said Andy Weir isn't great with dialogue...

You know it's epic fantasy when it takes half a chapter for a person to walk down the road.

Some characters are back and I'm glad, they're interactions with Rin are nicer to read than Rin and Cike's. I know it won't last, but just for a moment it's... fine, if you squint.

Oh Baru :( you're so hopeful and eager to prove yourself to a world that doesn't bother to hide that it wants to destroy you. :(

This better not end badly for Celehar, I'll be very sad if it does :( I don't think it will, if the goblin emperor is any guide, but still...

Cats are fed, many teahouses visited, trams taken... and we even got a ghoul. Murders have been committed. Fraud! Politicking! This calls for more tea...

I shouldn't be surprised, since I have actually read a couple of them before. Very good, almost exactly what I enjoy in stories.

Mh, very good, a little different from what i expected, not sure how i feel about the ending yet - positive yes, maybe just not quite satisfied?

Hm, it rok me a few chapters and two tries to be drawn into the actual story, but I'm enjoying it a lot now that the connections between the timelines are clearer.

The mental image of Howl playing rugby continues to bring me joy and delight.

I like this a lot more than I expected when I started reading. Helen's journey from I can change him through the power of LOVE to actually you know what, screw that I'm out? Yes please.

The constant POV-switching is _really_ annoying, but hey, at least
Accountant Baru is back! It's been way too long since she was thinking mainly in terms of numbers and trade routes...

Oh my god, NOO I can't believe I'm done and there isn't a next book to read, how am I meant to be all right? You shouldn't be allowed to end a book like that, I have Feelings and Emotions and and--

YES.

A whole chapter of Declan Lynch liking things! Liking Jordan specifically a lot! Being happy and cautiously optimistic! I need more of this. Don't take this away :( I just want them to keep forging art and pointing out dogs to Matthew, ok?

The Lynches all talked and for a brief moment everything was all right again.

Now I just need Hennessy and Jordan to speak with each other too, before it all goes back to hell, or I will not be all right.

Oh! So soon? And a cliffhanger, too, with a dramatic villain "haha did you miss me"...

Ok I did actually really like the whole last arc, it tied it nearly into Nona's trilogy. I just wish Yaz had time for a hot bath before the book ended, how long will she have to wait for one now? They all deserve a nice long soak.

I really want to love this, and really, I do... but I put it down about two years ago and never picked it back up. One day, I will! But it meandered through the plot in a way i want in the mood for, even if i did enjoy the journey.

What am i going to do when this book ends?? When something inevitably happens to Matthew? I'm not even a third of the way through and I'm already worked about the wait for book 3.

Unsurprisingly, I love all the main characters here, and the writing itself too.

I knew it was coming and I didn't like it at all :(

The dog is getting more air time! Very good, since I don't like Quell that much...
