Welcome to Litsy!

These are short because oks and this one is super cute as Abigail is 13 and precious such a cute interesting story highly recommend

It's starting to stretch the limits of what I can believe Aaronowitch, a middle aged white man, can write, but for a novella I still think he sells Abigail's voice, although it's suspiciously like Peter's. I like Abigail, but I like the talking foxes with spy delusions more, and overall this is still a hit. Now I'm really really out of Rivers of London books until the next one comes out.

This is such a fun audiobook- it‘s a novella featuring Abigail , Peter Grant‘s thirteen year old cousin. I love the talking foxes 🦊 and Abigail‘s new friend Simon. There‘s magic and mystery- it was worth the wait.

I must admit I enjoyed this book more than the regular books in the series and it's because of Abigail. A feisty, fun girl with heart and brain in a good place. Glad to read this, because I may have gotten a bit tired of the running story in the main books.
TBR since July 2022; 196 pages.

A reliably entertaining interstitial in my favourite urban fantasy series. Unlike Peter, I now know what Abigail did that summer (hilariously, it's not dissimilar to what he was doing, only aided by foxes rather than rivers). Abigail has always been one of my favourite supporting characters, and I'm now even more worried about what she'll do with her prodigious talents when she grows up...

This was a delightful novella. It is set between Foxglove Summer and The Hanging Tree. Abigail makes a great protagonist and I would gladly read more of her adventures.

Dear Mr Aaronovitch, I need MANY MORE books about Abigail, please and thank you. Appreciate you sorting this at your earliest convenience.

This is a spin off novella from the Rivers of London series, about Peter‘s young cousin Abigail, who is clever, feisty, always getting into trouble, and frequently accompanied by talking foxes. Urban fantasy police procedural addictiveness 🙌

Abigail Kamara investigates the disappearance of teenagers on Hampstead Heath who reappear with no memory of where they've been.

This novella adds some interesting background to the Rivers of London world and its inhabitants but the actual story isn't that engrossing. Slightly irritating that the maps show “Vale of Heath“ and the text says “Vale of Health“.

On to a new audiobook and more #audiocrafting.

Abigail is on her own while Peter is out of London looking for missing girls (this book takes place at the same time as Foxglove Summer), and she ends up also looking for missing children. I‘m enjoying this book so far. (It‘s our road trip book.) Continuing with The Weekenders while I walk. #audiowalk

Really fun spin-off novella for Rivers of London fans. Abigail was a great character when she turned up originally in Moon Over Soho and I‘m so glad she‘s stuck around and been given her own book. I really hope Mr Aaronovitch decides to follow up on Abigail‘s newly minted alliance with “Simon‘s mum.” I‘m sure there are some great stories there.

Finally we get to find out what is going on with Abigail and the foxes. Or at least how it started. And it‘s lots of fun. There‘s a complicated magical plot, to be solved by someone who doesn‘t have a lot of magical knowledge or skills and a new and distinctive voice. And the footnotes from Postmartin to Reynolds are a lovely touch.

Denied for The Library of the Dead (which is fine, I‘m fine 😂), but approved for this one, so I don‘t mind so much. ❤️
