Blue
Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
So I've got a confession to make. I just finished Sir Terry Pratchett's Small Gods and I did not love it. As a matter of fact, for the first half of the book I wasn't even sure if I liked it. Nothing wrong per se, but it didn't hold my attention.
Anyway, it picked up a lot for the last quarter. Worthwhile read.
I wonder if I was affected by reading Carpe Jugulum right before it, where a supporting character in that book referred to the main character of this book several times in a historical sense that gave away part of the ending.
I've got a deepish to-read pile at the moment, one stands out as a complete impulse buy with a gift card. "All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault" by James Alan Gardner. Usually I try new authors based on recommendations from those who recommend other books I like - that's how I first came to the excellent N.K. Jemisin last year. And that list of authors to try is pretty long. Random browsing in bookstores - not so much. So wish me luck.
