This really felt like a bridging book for the next and final Book. Brett focuses on the side characters in this book. So if your expecting a lot of plot with Arlen & Jardir you won't get it in this installment.
What's not to like about a story that has at it's center an ex-junky Telepath, who's working as an interrogator for the Atlanta Police, on a serial killer case that touches a past he'd rather not be reminded of.
Their were aspects of this story that I truly enjoyed, like the historical vignettes and the subtle fantasy aspects of the story. Over all I would recommend this story. I am interested to see in what direction Bein takes this series.
I was a little disappointed in this book. I was hoping for a more satisfying ending.
A good story, but the main character's personality is to similar to the Character of Alex in the first book. It felt like the same basic personality, I would of like Kevin and his interactions to have been more distinct.
Ok, this a really good series. However, I don't see him ending this in the next book or even the one after. What's a real downer is he's running about 5-6yrs between books! The first book, in this series was published in 1996. At this rate I just hope he doesn't pull a Robert Jordan and pass before he can complete it.
Makes me wish all the more for the next installment, Peace Talks, was going to be done and out soon.
Interesting short story that brings us one step closer to the end of the narrative of both Bean & Ender Wiggins story lines. Presumably, the next book (Shadows alive) will combine and wrap-up the last narratives in this Universe.
Thank you, Mediocre Show. I heard about this on their show, that it was being given away as a free promo on the kindle & snagged it before that offer expired. And just started reading it. It's a story on Griffin Con in Atlanta and a drunk Reporter sent to cover it as punishment by his editor.
I found it a funny read in a Gonzo-journalist way.
Pleasantly surprised, Brandon Sanderson seems to have done a good job. While some sections seem heavy on back history, it still feels like a Robert Jordan book. I have no idea how much of Memory of light had been completed before Jordan's death, but it looks as if the ending they are put together here will be good. Now I just have to be patient and wait for the other 2/3 of it to be published.
Interesting read, although the whole format of shorts reminded me of the Kane Series. I would of like a more in depth store.
Really, my only complaint with this series is, here we are the 4th book in the series & she's still only 11. I mean, come on! 4+ murders in less the 8 or 9 months in a some small hamlet in 1950? That is a lot to ask.
That being said I this was one of the more enjoyable of the series.
Not a bad read. Definitely, sets Max Moore up for more stories at some point in the future.
Sanderson took this series in an unexpected direction. I started the Mistborn series expecting a fantasy story, which I got in the first three books, but now it's evolved into a Steampunk story. Still, I'll be interested to see how it continues.
I have always liked most everything that Guy Gavriel Kay has written. And this book is in the vain of the stories that I like from him. His use of historical references in his works always helps in drawing me into his narrative. Over all I enjoyed this book. While I would of like so more explorations of the protagonist's family, that is just knit-picking on my part.
Well, at least I don't have to wait long of the next book in the Milkweed Triptych. I've really enjoyed these so far.
