And for my next trick, I will "review" a book that I can't really remember reading, even though it happened two weeks ago. This was allegedly my packing and moving audiobook, but somewhere in there I got what in retrospect was a very high fever, and hand to God all I can come up with is a jumble of boxes, the sounds a cat makes when you go over a speed bump, and a weird conglomerate sense impression of this book: something hats something something kidfic something vampires hot air balloons steampunk mummies gay porn.

That last part might not have happened? Or it might have!

Uh. So I think this was kind of anti-climactic and samey, and it didn't really follow through on any of the more complex questions raised, and it really just seemed like setup for a sequel series about the kid, but honestly? The fuck do I actually know.

Wealhtheow I only read the first one, so this kid thing is a complete mystery to me. I assume a vampire and a mummy had sex in a hot air balloon with gears on it and mpreg ensued? I mean, that's the most logical explanation.

Ric I can relate to not remembering a book two weeks after having read it, with extenuating circumstances.


Zana There was gay sex in a "and then they both headed for bed, together," way, but it wasn't porn.

I have to agree, not the most memorable book in the series.

Yeah, that was way more interesting in my head. But at least I was right and it happened at all. Victory!

Elizabeth I'm surprised the series is still going. There doesn't seem to be a lot to it. I'm unsurprised that you can't remember much of this one.
