First you have to understand that I almost never stop reading a book in the middle, no matter how much they suck. I've only done it a handful of times in my entire life. I just feel like it will be easier to put behind me if I finish the story.
In the case of Kethani, however, I'm very close to doing that. This book is billed as Science Fiction, with aliens coming to Earth and all, but really it should have been called a morality book, and not a particularly well written one at that. Specifically, the author is looking at how a very narrow form of immortality might effect a group of 'real' people in the English countryside.
None of the characters are appealing and none of the arguments are even remotely new or unique and I've already spent more time on this than I should. ]]>
One of the better of the Dresden books. We learn quite a bit of history about one of the secondary characters and open a whole new chapter in Harry's life. Most importantly to me, Harry stops lying to Michael.
And a larger mystery that has been in the background of all of the books so far is finally out in the open. Still a mystery with very few clues, but at least Harry and allies recognize it. ]]>
