Rivers of London | Ben Aaronovitch

pick

The book lost a quarter of a star because the writing is clunky in places, but I loved it and will be continuing the series. I especially liked the historical and pop culture references.

The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV | Helen Castor

I should have waited for the shortlist and hibernated this book. I'd be very surprised if it makes it, as I really struggled with it and could have bailed on it if it hadn't made it.

Librarybelle Oh dear! I had recently splurged and picked up a copy on the strength of a virtual author talk I saw her do. 1mo

jenniferw88 @Librarybelle, you may like it! I just know very little about this period, and it was very heavy going. Shorter chapters may have helped. 1mo

RamsFan1963 I wanted to read this, but I've seen a lot of negative reviews. If you want to know more about Henry IV, I'd recommend reading Dan Jones's Henry V. It covers the end of Richard II reign, Henry IV seizing the throne, and leads on into Henry V reign as king. 1mo

youneverarrived Hmm, good to know. It does look heavy going and it‘s more of a chunkster than I realised. Think I‘ll concentrate on the others before this. 1mo

Butter: Roman | Asako Yuzuki

pick

If you go into this book expecting a murder mystery, you'll be disappointed, but as a contemporary look at Japan's expectations of women, it's quite good.

BarbaraBB Agree 💯 I enjoyed the Japanese atmosphere 2mo

CarolynM I‘ve just finished this too. The information about women in Japan was the best of it. 2mo

ShelleyBooksie I'd love to hear what made it so-so. Was it slow paced? 2mo

jenniferw88 @ShelleyBooksie medium. It's a high so-so/low pick - I think I wanted more definite answers as to who did it/what really happened. If you liked The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, you might enjoy it better.
