Episode 1-12: I See Your True Colors Shining Through

March 25, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/03/26/episode-1-12-i-see-your-true-colors-shining-through/ Wherein I review: 39. Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson 40. The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell (Stainless Steel Rat #9) by Harry Harrison What began as my least favorite Cosmere book quickly climbed back up in my esteem.  It’s the magics I didn’t care much for it this one, but the characters grew on me.  And the Stainless Steel Rat was less delightful as he multiverse hops.

Episode 1-10: Ain’t None Ya Muhfuhs Ever Heard Of Divorce?

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/03/12/episode-1-10-aint-none-ya-muhfuhs-ever-heard-of-divorce/ Wherein I Review: 32. Ill Will by Dan Chaon 33. The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You! (Stainless Steel Rat #7) by Harry Harrison 34. The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson I’m all for murder mysteries, but damn, sometimes people just be killing the fuck out of each other with no remorse.  It’s twisty and turny, and for Dan Chaon’s bitterly Maury Povich levels of trauma.  If you dig Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware, the Swanson is for you.  The Chaon might be for […]

Episode 1-09: Rats! Foiled Again!

March 4, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

In this episode, I further dive into the Stainless Steel Rat space opera, where a slick space criminal experiences 1970’s style hijinks.  I finish up the YA books written by the author of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books author – all of them involving kids fighting some kind of devilish dealing evil power.  And I leap back to the beginning to dip my toes in the Cosmere and ponder how Avengers: Infinity War shit’s gonna get when he finally merges all his shardfolk.
