Welcome to Litsy!

I meant to grab this when it came out, but blanked. When I saw it recently I snatched it up & quickly read it as a antidote to my reading slump.
It was marvelous.
Gus was a delight; I liked seeing Nightingale young & carefree (even tho from more distance than usual), & queer 1920s NY was fantastic--I squeed with every every jazz musician name drop.
Even better, he's finally made it clear Nightingale is ace, which made me love him more.

Saturday purchases. I‘m in the tiniest of minorities with not liking Piransei at all, so let‘s see if I enjoy this. I believe I‘m two books behind with ROL so I have more catching up to do.

Story was all over the place, very confusing.

Enjoy!

Not bad so far. This time a unicorn horn is found and the detective has to go undercover as a street racer. Not much fey has I had hoped to see in the story (really it's on the title? ugh). As usual, great graphics and good story. On to the next!

When mysteriously powerful instruments are wreaking havoc in 1920s Harlem, it‘s up to Gussie, a former Folly practitioner, & Nightingale to hunt them down.

I really was expecting a lot more Nightingale, but Gussie & his boyfriend are a delight. The exploration of magic beyond England was fascinating, & the glimpses of Harlem nightlife were so fun. The mystery was really compressed & a bit abrupt, but overall one of my favorite novellas.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

My only real issue with this book was that I wanted more Nightingale. Instead, the story finds Nightingale in New York and is told from the point of view of an old schoolmate — Augustus Berrycloth-Young. He‘s a fun character, and we get to view both Nightingale and 1920s Harlem through his eyes.

Surprise afternoon off equals uninterrupted reading time! 💛

Another winner from the Rivers of London series.

This novella is set at the Jazz age. It's part of memoirs of Augustus "Gussie" Berrycloth-Young, Englishman in New York. He left Casterbrook and the Folly behind and is quite shaken when Thomas Nightingale appears on his doorstep.

I absolutely loved this adventure. Seeing The Nightingale during his high time but slightly out of his depth by being on the other side of the Pond.

Still loving the series. In this volume, our detective comes across some weed that makes him not feel all right in the head and starts investigating the source. I absolutely love the two girls in it and how they kicked a$$. Graphics were still wonderful and well done. Looking forward to the next one!

Ah yes back to the story at hand! Much better than than the last volume. In this one, two girls are kidnapped and one is for ransom and the other is for sport. Our brave detectives must find the girls before it's too late. Love the characters, especially the bad buy that kinda looks like a fox! Awesome graphics and cool ending.
