Marvelous. Peter continues to have a hazardous but fascinating time encountering the fantastical and magical in London whilst solving murder mysteries, attempting to apply science and police procedure to the absurd, and introducing the reader to snippets of London's history and architecture. The overarching plot that has continued through the series has some appreciable momentum in this entry as well. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 A good balance of wry asides and moments with Nightingale and other recurring characters. I love this world, I love how Aaronovitch writes, I'm happy to continue in this series. Also happy to find that the library not having the audiobook for this book was a blip, and having put a hold on the next in the series, I can look forward to being regaled with the future adventures of Peter Grant in the mellifluous tones of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith once again. 🥰 2h

What a gorgeous book, rich with historical detail of Spain under the Inquisition in what I would usually call the Elizabethan era. The characters are equally rich and complex. I adored Luzia, Hualit, and Santángel, came to love Valentina, and feared all the villains. The plot took numerous turns I did not expect. Despite an irritating pet peeve toward the end, Leigh Bardugo remains an autobuy author.

Augh! Why?! Such lazy writing. Just tell us the demands.

And then it never comes up? It isn‘t relevant to the ending? Why bother with the secrets?

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.7-8: there is nothing worse than a girl who fakes injury to get attention from a guy. IMO - Melody is very immature. I‘m finding her annoying. But I was pleasantly surprised at Mr. Vincent - he didn‘t do anything to take away from Jane‘s skill, which was decent of him. I can definitely see him as a love interest for her. She just needs to soften him up a bit.

Princess-Kingofkings I completely agree ~ ugh!! 4h

vonnie862 I definitely see Mr. Vincent being a love interest. Now Melody, I have a bad feeling about her. 4h
mcctrish I didn‘t think Melody could get any worse and yet here we are !!!! She‘s a conniving dimwit. And she‘s mad now too because Jane isn‘t all “oh you poor beautiful dear, you can‘t hold a candle to my skills so of course you have to connive and manipulate! I completely understand “ 🤢 I happy Mr Vincent explained why he was out of sorts - things might go more smoothly between him and Jane now 🤞🏻 4h
BarkingMadRead Ughhhhhh I am not a fan of Melody and her ways, or the way she treats Jane. I am starting to really love Mr Vincent for Jane 4h

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent @StayCurious Oh my! This is me…the more I learn about something/someone, the more I appreciate. At work on Tuesday, I told my Lt. thank you after he shared the historical practice of a procedure. He really did help me.

Thaaaat's right, Peter, you want the pretty car because it's magic-resistant, not because it's pretty.
I sense ulterior motives...😏

I never thought I would enjoy this genre of book before but oh my I do. There is everything in them. Laughter, cringes, excitement, light horror, thrills, chills, and tears.

This book takes on another ride with the Faes. You get get to know a bit more about each character. More about their lives, fears, and loves. More about their strengths and weaknesses. More about their truths.

I just couldn‘t get into this one at all. I listened to the audiobook and couldn‘t wait for it to be done. It also just ends very abruptly. I know there‘s another book but I did just feel like it could have ended with more thought. The cover was amazing though!!! ⭐️⭐️
