3/5. Rivers of London novella, except no London. There is a river, though. Set in Germany, starring the German equivalent to Peter, who has never met him and thus has hilarious notions of him. "Oh," he thinks, "Peter Grant would have thought to measure that. He'd take notes and have charts."
Me: Yes, yes he would. This is not always a virtue.
Fun, with some interesting tidbits about the war and exactly how it was that magic slid into obscurity after, though nothing I think we hadn't all filled in already. Mostly, I'm curious to see what this is setup for – a Peter field trip, presumably.
Oh, BTW, I should mention that the audio is not read by Holdbrook-Smith. Which apparently upset some people but makes perfect sense to me, as this is a different narrator and setting, and a different delivery is entirely appropriate.
