Book Reviews: The Digital Plague
By Jeff Somers. 30 second review.
Revenge of the Monks. Read it. Loved it. And I had a shocking revelation about halfway through. I like Avery. Mistake me not, he’s a cockroach. If the next installment sees him survive nuclear fallout I won’t blink. Okay, I’ll blink, but only because reading a whole book without blinking is kind of a big ask, not because I’d have difficulty accepting he could survive nuclear fallout. And I still wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley. Especially in light of the plague situation. But from a distance, I like him.
That says a lot about me, I suspect.
Everything I liked about The Electric Church is still there, but better.
Book Reviews: Before They Are Hanged
The First Law by Joe Abercrombie. Book 2. 30 second review.
Before They Are Hanged picks up where The Blade Itself left off. A few new characters come in, a few old friends die, and Logen finally gets some attention which doesn’t lead to any new scars. If you’ve read and enjoyed The Blade Itself there’s no compelling reason not to read Before They Are Hanged. If not, you’d be advised to pick up TBI first.
Also, same warning as with the first. Leave it if you don’t like swearing.
