I really hope to finish this tomorrow. Don't expect a high rating...

I hope to finish this tonight. I might cry if I don't.

Kinda bored...

Damnit, Fitz... would you just listen to the Fool instead of getting angry! You might actually learn something.

The last story had the most Sherlockian-type air, but was also the least satisfying. It seemed to change the characters a bit in ways I'm not sure I liked.

I hate misunderstandings that could be prevented if people just listened to each other... but I suppose that's life.

'The Muddle of the Woad' was interesting, though I'm curious that obstruction wouldn't be a crime.

Finished the first two stores - 'The Eyes Have It' and 'A Case of Identity'. Not a bad little set of stories, though not great thus far. (I didn't realize the first book was a collection of short stories, either.)

Oh, if only the book lived up to its title. Ho-hum.

'Organ Donors' was ok. My least favorite so far. (And I clearly overestimated the page number last update.)

It's an ok story, and the mythological aspects aren't making me cringe the entire time, but Atticus is too over-powered as a character and not all that interesting.

I'm guessing on the page number: Finished Kentish Glory, which is my favorite so far - I seem to prefer the more character-drive, back-story type ones, and Moon Moon Moon which was pretty good. I enjoyed seeing Catriona in the Old Man's chair. Putting this aside for now to read a book-club book.

Well, that was kinda head-trippy. Also - yay for a Charles story, but I'd like another one from when he's younger instead of being the Old Man. I miss Kate.

Yay - a Charles story!
