I must admit, I'm not a fan of Simenon's writing style. Hopefully it will grow on me, because I have many more Maigret books to go. But Simenon is hailed as someone who wrote some 400 novels, jotting down 60 to 80 pages a day. It shows.

Pietr the Latvian (Maigret, #1)

Translator Monkey is finished with A Spindle Splintered (Fractured Fables, #1)
Just not for me. I may have set my standards too high by expecting this to be up to the same level as Harrow's excellent 'Starling House'. This is not a knock on the book - the plotline sounds refreshing and fun, and the characters were mostly interesting. I found no engagement, however, and recognized early on in this slim book that we weren't going to connect.

No stars offered, since I didn't finish the book.
