March Reading Wrap-Up: The Thrillers Failed to Impress

I wasn't sure I was going to be in for the long haul with the Dresden Files after Battle Ground. Like I was just like, "I this book doesn't sit well with me."

Now, I may not love Between Two Fires but it's still a really well-written book and so, I'm imagining this one will be great as well.

The antagonists don't work for me in this one but at the same time some of the best character moments in the entire series.

I got to chapter two and there's just some like ritualized weirdness going on with sexuality in here that I just I don't really agree with. I don't think it's okay. I find it to be problematic.

And so, yeah, I'm only like 6% into this. So far, I'm having a wonderful time, but this just kind of gets a mention because like it's going to be fully read next month, but I did start it this month.

This continues the theme of excellence within the series. I'm just really impressed with Hosts so far.

And it was just great because it does such an amazing job of just dropping you into the world and reminding you of current events and kind of events from previous books in a creative way where it doesn't feel like an info dump of to remind you. It was just kind of a nice refreshing way to re-enter a series, especially so late in the series.

Now, I did get like 10% into this and the 10% that I read was great, but it was just dark and I was in a dark place and I just didn't think reading dark books while in a dark place was a good time.

And it overall it was really good. It just I don't kind of dragged on for me because basically Cotton is having to deal with his ex-wife Pam.

This was phenomenal. This is like a 4.5 to five star read. And honestly this is kind of what flicked the switch for back to urban fantasy which is why I reached for October Day.
