C.S.E. Cooney: Saint Death's Herald No rating

Lanie Stones is the necromancer that Death has been praying for.

Heartbroken, exiled from her …

This book really needs an editor. I’m struggling to care about what’s happening and, so far, it’s not holding up to the first volume. I’ll give it a few more chapters…

commented on Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch (Rivers of London, #1)

Ben Aaronovitch: Midnight Riot (2011, Random House Publishing Group)

I’m not sure if I’ll finish this one. The occasional racial humor felt off, inauthentic, so I looked up the author - a white guy. While I could imagine a Black author maybe being self-deprecating for a white audience, from a white author this is just painful. We’ll see if I can continue to suspend my disbelief.
