I got a copy last week on bookoutlet for $1.99! In case anyone’s looking.
Out of Blood Follows, The Lees of Laughters End and The Wurms of Blearmouth, this one was by far my favorite.
Three stars for me. This one was all over the place and is my least favorite so far.
These read really fast. They have their charm, but it is a really noir, absurd type of humour that I sometimes adore (Black Books!) and sometimes I'm indifferent to.
I cheered for the witch, but It seems I will have to settle for Mancy. ^^
So I started this and had to check to be sure I was supposed to be reading this now because huh? Is this picking up from the other novellas (because I didn't read Blood or Lees)? I wend straight to this from Deadhouse.
Yea... Blood Follows introduces us to Emancipor Reese and KB&B... Lees picks up where Blood Follows ends with their boat trip across Laughter's End... and this 3rd story picks up in the town they end up after the end of Laughter's End...I still need to read this...

I'll just read the other two another time. I don't like reading out of order (for some reason I thought these were companions and not serial), but I'm already 60% in.
They're a serial storyline about the 2 main characters and their manservant... meant to give backstory since people were intrigued by the characters when they show up in Memories of Ice, which we're reading next...I think you at least needed to read Blood Follows first... the chronological order we're reading in isn't even the exact order they were published in...

Of the three I only have this one so there's no helping it. It's ok, I'll remember this one. I'll just put it aside in my head so when I read the others I can tack it onto the end.
Im just starting this now! Excited to read more about these two and Mancy and their antics...
I still need to get to this at some point... hopefully this week...
So...what am i reading in this second scene with Felittle and her sea-spongyness??? 😜🤣
Iain wrote: "I still need to get to this at some point... hopefully this week..."The text size is large for this book. So even though its 200 pages, it goes by fast!
So it says on goodreads that this tale is one of 5. There’s Blood Follows, Lees of laughters End, this one, Healthy Dead, then what is the other of the 5 tales??Im laughing out loud every few pages in this!
Blood Follows (2002) -- #1Healthy Dead (2004) -- #4
Lees of Laughter's End (2007) -- #2
Crack'd Pot Trail (2009) -- #5
Wurms of Blearmouth (2012) -- #3
Fiends of Nightmaria (2016) -- #6 (this one includes a lot of art and is hardcover and expensive... luckily it's being included in the 2nd KB&B anthology later this year)
