A Night In The Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny

A fun read and I enjoyed it very much. a lot of fictional characters together like Jack (The Ripper?), Jill, Great Detective, Dracula. involving an opening/closing on Halloween.

It is a book I have to read again, I read it as an October challenge with 31 chapters I read one each day so that I finish it today on the 31st. It made for a slow start as some chapters are very short so you don’t get into it properly until 2 weeks in. Next time I read it I will read it normally.

I do love the very last line, perfect haha. I was hoping it would be in the book.

Jack and Jill went down the hill….

The Eye of The Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman

Jesus wept this book felt a bit of a chore. I thoroughly love this series but this book just felt like a slog and chore to get through. Very card game orientated with the magic and plot and something I am not really into beyond Pokemon cards. Its not that I didn’t like the book, which I did very much. It just felt a drag.

Finishing this means I’m onto the last book (as of writing) and I think it is going to be amazing and full of action. I am happy to be done with this book, it could have been a fair chunk shorter. Despite loving this series I find some of the books have grabbed me more than others. Perhaps this one my least favourite so far and it has felt like forever since I started this book.

I think I will take a little break before I read Book 7.
