Garoo

Glen Cook, Shadows Linger

In the right continuation of the previous volume — with less humor (but the characters have all become depressive, so it makes sense), slower action, a division of narration between two characters (which doesn’t really work with the concept of an annalist narrator, but nevermind), and the same style. I still can’t decide whether it’s well or poorly written.

What’s important is, the story is interesting, you can’t wait to know what happens next, and you can’t wait to get the next volume. You already know it’s more than I can say about most of the books I read.

It’s a good thing our letterbox was just replaced (after being destroyed, presumably by high-schoolers upset at the the multiplication of conseils de discipline in the past month). I’ve been told the mailwoman left our mail on the steps yesterday, and I wouldn’t expect an Amazon package to survive long under those conditions.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
