Straight Razor Cure | Daniel Polansky
13 posts | 10 read | 9 to read
People can disappear from the streets of Low Town - and the lacklustre efforts of the guard ensure they are never found. But then a missing child, murdered and horribly mutilated, is discovered in an alley. And then another. With a mind as sharp as a blade, the guard is the only man who can find the killer.

I chose this book because I‘m curious about the grimdark sub-genre, and this was listed in more than one place as a “must read.” While I couldn‘t say if this is a definitively representative grimdark title, I can definitively say I LOVED THIS BOOK! It‘s a fantasy with a noir feel and a sprinkling of horror. I can‘t wait to read the next in the series! 📚

A curious mix of urban fantasy and crime noir that shouldn't work, but blends together excellently. The MC is an ex-detective for the city of Rigus, fallen from grace for, as yet unknown reasons, who now works as a drug dealer in the slums of Low Town. His old detective instincts stir when a child murder leads to a bigger conspiracy. Book 1 of a trilogy. 4 💥💥💥💥

Ugly cover though, looks like a gem sprouting hair 🤣🤣

3. I had 3 days off at the beginning of the week to relax and catch up on some reading. If I hadn't had a touch of the flu, it would have been perfect. 😁

Wasn‘t for me. I couldn‘t connect with the characters or the story.

My thoughts on this one flipped between wanting it to just be done, already. And seeing myself tearing through the rest of the series. In the end, while I did enjoy it, and liked the gang at The Earl. I don't think I'll continue with more.

I was able to get into this finally-knocked out the last hundred pages today. I figured out the end before the big reveal but still enjoyed it

Having a hard time getting into this--the night circus had me flying through the pages while it's a struggle to read more than a chapter of this. I don't think it's the story necessarily, but I dunno. I'd like to get it done before the December so I can start my Christmas read though

3 of my New York finds in a row. This one's up next

Robothugs I would've picked that because of the cover... 😂 but it sounds really intriguing! I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts! 8y
