by Katharine Kerr
I quite liked this book which is a bit of a fresh take on the genre - but if it hadn't been recommended by Seanan McGuire I likely never would have purchased it due to the fact that it possibly has one of the worst titles in the history of titles.
This is more of a 2.75 stars....While I like the story, or more the premise of the story there seemed to be a lot missing, and instead of it flowing well it seemed choppy...not really sure how to put into words what I felt while reading...That aside, I liked the characters and as I said the premise ...
This is not a bad book although not a great one. The story is engaging; it reads easily and fast. The San Francisco atmosphere comes through: the city’s hills and streetcars, the inescapable fog and quirky denizens. But the main characters are rather distant. They’re more than two-dimensional cardbo...
2.5 out of 3 starsLicense to Ensorcell is the first installment of the Nola O’Grady series. As with any first book in a series, I expect to see a lot of world building and character development. I didn’t really get either and the whole book was not what I expected. This is my first book by Katherine...
I really wanted to like this book. I was excited and I almost bought the second one.But I didn't.So I saved money.It's the writing. The plot had promise, the world building seemed like it was gonna be exciting but then we got to the dialogue and the weird tenses. One minute the heroine is saying tha...
Overall a likeable story, with lots of caveats. I hesitate to put a rating--I happen to love Kerr's Deverry series, and follow Kerr's blog, but I'm not sure she's done herself justice with this book. First, I'm not sure she knows what tone she wants to take. Very early there's a sort of lightheart...
I wanted to like this I really did, but I just could do it. This book took me forever to finish because it just bored me silly. Everything about it just fell flat from the characters, to the plot, to the setting, and the backstory. Nothing stood out to me except that I liked Nola marginally better t...
I really like this book but I'm struggling to pinpoint why. The romance is pretty standard but I really like all the characters. I will admit the "as soon as he gets by himself for a few days he won't love me because I'm too strange" trope got old but oh well.I think part of it is that Kerr did some...
This was a strange book. I had two issues:I never fully understood the world so that does not work for me. Or maybe I just did not like the world either way it did not work for me.I just could not figure out what chaos was and why it needed an agency??The heroine has an eating disorder that she was ...
