Turncoat

Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, Book 11) Turn Coat by Jim Butcher


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Oh, Jim Butcher, honey. Whoever told you your work is morally complex was lying to you. But it's all right -- just stick to big roleplay game magic slug-outs and occasional wisecracks, and we're all good. Okay? Okay.

Scanning through your old reviews, looking for something to read next, and hee! I know what you mean about Butcher.

The thing is, I hunted down these audiobooks just for the pleasure of listening to James Marsters murmur in my ear. And since I'd happily hear him read the phonebook, hey, Butcher is lots better than a directory. *G*

I have an embarrassing fondness for Butcher's other series. It's all big fantasy battles and comfort food cliches.

Hmm, I'm trying to think of a book rec. I liked Stephenson's Anathem a lot, and I keep thinking about it months later. But if you're not in the mood for 900 pages of meandering scifi, I'm currently reading Poison Study, a fantasy/romance. It's not good, but it's enjoyable, if you know what I mean.
