I read it earlier this year, and liked it. It had some twists and turns in it!

[La_mariane]

I'm reading The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu, and I'm bit conflicted. This book is good, but it lacks the "wow" factor I was expecting, as The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories completely blew my mind.

I'm afraid, if I pick another book to read alongside The Grace of Kings, I won't finish it...

Someone read it? Does the pacing pick up?

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice


Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams

Rice is a little long-winded and this 1000+ page beast is no exception, but at least we get right to the Talamasca in the first chapter so I'm hopeful that she's on the right track. Her Vampire series failed to capture my attention much after the first three installments.

As for the Hitchhiker's series, I am on record as not really loving them the way some people do but at least I'm not embarrassed to read one of them (unlike Scalzi's books which are just regrettably bad at times).

The Kate Daniels' adventures continue with the surprise release of Magic Claims by Ilona Andrews.

This is the second story in the Wilmington trilogy. Chronologically,
it follows after the main series of 10 novels and before Blood Heir.

For those who have never read the UF Kate Daniels series, a new reader could start with the Wilmington trilogy to get a taste for Kate & team.
