Very interesting world Rupert Wong inhabits

We now know the animating incident.

If I knew more about SE Asian horror, I'd probably be getting lots of easter eggs. Still, it seems very fun so far.

Powering my way through these

Lots of creativity on display in this short form version of what BFB is good at

Well, I'll give the author this much - I was NOT expecting that plot twist

The all-female city - full of tired tropes, ugh

looks like we're closing in on the end, but it seems there's still so much more that needs to happen!

Pirate section done. Still quite meandering

So far very awesome. A great pick for the Sword and Laser book club!

Plot twist on plot twist

person 1: "should this book have trigger warnings?"
person 2: "Yes"
person 1: "which ones?"
person 2: "All of them"

Man, that scene with Island at night!!

A bit meandering, but still interested in how things end up resolved

a variation on the gladiator trope

Almost at the halfway point. Unsure what the climax might be. Wonder if it's not resolved in book #1?

complications arise!

I know it's nerdy, but the inconsistent verb tenses are annoying me. Also had "trans" where it should have had "trance". This book needs an editor.

Lots of puns. I enjoy puns. But with so many, it makes me wary of whether the book is going to have a satisfying resolution.

Very cheeky tone. No witches yet...

Continues to be a huge love-letter to NYC. Also very different than the fantasy structure I'm used to. Still intrigued.

Already made some recipes from here. Delicious, as always!

Big info-dump. But fun tone. Looking forward to the plot beginning

So Doyle can write more than just Sherlock Holmes

A novella-length story

Wasn't sure which direction this one was going - "Scooby Doo" or real ghosts? Good reveal at the end.

This audiobook is awesome. Partway between a regular audiobook and what Graphic Audio does. hits the balance perfectly.

This will definitely redefine what I consider to be *Urban* Fantasy.

So far very compelling intro and a real love letter to NYC.

Some of these are actually pretty good

Vizini moment! (king's mask) loved it! Love this whole story so much more than I thought I would.

The comparison to the princess bride on the back of the book is quite apt. Really enjoying it

Exactly what you'd expect from Reinhart -a lot of enthusiasm for the topic and a pretty good amount of technical knowledge. I'm hoping to bake from this book early in the new year.

I'm really enjoying these characters. Curious to see how the dynamic continues to evolve and where it goes further in the series. Introduced my father to it and he seemed to like the prologue.
