Iko rolled to her side, clasping her metal grippers over her chest. “Prince Kai! Check my fan, I think I’m overheating.”

Oh this is good :D

Way too much talking and not enough action although it does have some skirmishes but they feel short. I still like the series. 3.5

Can't stop reading...

45 years of constant yearning for him had made my tears form a pool of longing. Every day I waited by that pool with confidence and love. I believed that my lover would step out of the pool and take me in his arms – but when he did finally step out, another woman was at his side. Their footsteps disturbed the clear surface of my pool. The ripples destroyed the reflections of the sun and moon – and my hope was gone.

Kovac was funny like an old granny, never being fooled by Quinn and Kate.
I'm not too impressed. Way too long.

There must be dozens of movies about Tarzan but I don't remember ever seeing this particular version of the tale on film. Odd. And it ends with a cliffhanger! wait... treehanger :P

Mystery set around 2011 I guess by some of the history behind the plot. Kinda complicated plot. Had I taken more time to read this I would have been seriously confused with all the names. Looking forward to the next book.

The water in the bucket was glowing, emitting a greenish-blue light. I could see Lettie’s face by it. I could see the waves and ripples on the surface of the water, watch them crest and splash against the side of the bucket.
‘I don’t understand.’
‘I couldn’t get you to the ocean,’ she said. ‘But there was nothing stopping me bringing the ocean to you.’

Neil Gaiman reading his own book is per se a 5 stars luxury.
