Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Though, technically I hadn't read anything last two weeks to it's more of "got back to reading".

It's still book 3, but I found it interesting how different it is from Dresden Files. There is no forces of nature with personal enmity with the protagonist (yet), it's just (magic) crimes being solved by (magic) police. More of a police procedural then whatever genre Dresden Files is πŸ˜€

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

It took me a long time to get through it as well. I feel like the book didn't need to be as lengthy as it was. I didn't find a whole lot really happens in the grand scheme of things and there is a notorious taboo scene that made no sense whatsoever plot wise but I guess he just really wanted to write that scene lmao.

All right, well feels good to know that I’m not the only one that struggled/Struggleswith it. It’s a very popular title of his.
