I'm mostly a sci-fi reader, preferring happy feelgood stories, and competency porn, but reading a lot of different stuff makes me happy :)

Good ending to a great series

I really enjoyed this book, it was kind of like the last one, just that more of the small stories were better than in that one, and it didn't use as long to get going.

Loveable characters

I really enjoyed the mood of this story, it's like in most of Lowells book, really loveable characters that you want to spend time with. Usually his books are very calm, this one had a bit more adversity, at times a bit too much, but I think in some ways it made me enjoy the calmer moments more.

This is the first fantasy book that I'm reading in years, and it does want me to explore that a bit more again, if I can just find some more feelgood fantasy after I'm finished with this series.

Decent murder mystery, oldfashioned unlikeable charaters

I've wanted some more recent procedurals, kind of like police TV series, just in book form, this was my first try.

It was a decent book, I kind of liked it, but I didn't like any other characters than the detective really, and it all feld rather old fashioned, the 2001 release must have been a rerelase I think of an older book? At least it felt that way. All in all it was decent, but it was kind of a bit of a drag to get through.

Well written thought provoking book

I really enjoyed this book, it was fun to read, the characters were good, and I really enjoy the way moon writes, it's just so easy to read, even when the situations are dire, there is at least some hope there. Really enjoyable in general, could be a bit less rapey though.
