He's still not at Roberts level, or hasn't reached the heights of Barber or Scott at their best, but he's winning me over. It's more tense, it's better, it's not all fucking Rubble - who still annoys the crap out of me*, and Barricade is alive again. Took a while to get there, but I'm glad I stuc...
There are a couple things happening here: it's not all about Rubble, the plot twists are better, and I was reminded that favorite characters can come back. Yaaaas. Barricade. Mmm. He doesn't show up in this, but it didn't matter. The possibility of seeing him again is all I need, thank yo...
I'm really, really not fond of this issue. Rubble is still annoying, and I don't see where this is going. Buuuuut, the 1:10 variant is just amazingly gorgeous.
So I am not a happy girl right now. I wanted to like this, but it was not as good as the last two series, it tells the story through a new character that I do not like, and oddly enough keeps some aspects of the old series, which only makes me compare them more. So yeah. I will give it some ti...
4 starsVery quick action filled short story. I found this very diverting, and I'm looking forward to reading more by Brian Ruckley. You could pick this up without having read The Free and still enjoy it.
The Magnificent Seven. Seven Samurai. These action-packed, adventure movies supposedly inspired Brian Ruckley when writing this tale of a band of fantasy land mercenaries taking one last contract before retiring. I’m sure that doesn’t wow many of you. Truthfully, it didn’t excite me either when I ...
I am a little confused by this book. I did like it, and maintained my interest, but it didn't seem to really ever get going. I would give this 2.5* if it was an option because I did stay interested. I am not entirely sure where this went wrong for me though. Throughout reading I went from a 3* t...
Wow! Edinburgh Dead by Brian Ruckley! Totally brilliant! It's rare that I can use the term 'unputdownable', but I definitely can say it about this one. Read it in less than 48 hours, which for me is pretty much unheard of. Could NOT put it down.I'm fond of Historical fiction (albeit usually romantic...
Edinburgh 1827. In the starkly-lit operating theatres of the city, grisly experiments are being carried out on corpses in the name of medical science. But elsewhere, there are those experimenting with more sinister forces. Amongst the crowded, sprawling tenements of the labyrinthine Old Town, a body...
Originally published at my blog Chasing Empty PavementsI'm so sad right now because I had SUCH high hopes for this novel! The gothic, creepy feel the blurb gave me goosebumps and some of the reviews said it was gritty and in your face. I however thought it was lackluster and sadly disappointing. The...
