Re: It had been years and years since I'd read this, so I don't remember most of the plot... Rebekah Send a noteboard - 10/06/2013 03:35:48 PM

View original postThe Black Whisper thing seemed rather exaggerated, though - a plague that kills all adults it infects? Even with such radical quarantine measures, it's hard to see how a medieval city could survive even one outbreak of such a plague, nevermind enough of them that the Thiefmaker can consider it his "favourite" plague. And as it turns out it wasn't even needed, as Locke's already an orphan anyhow... I suppose looking for realism even by fantasy standards in this book would be missing the point, but what can I say, I'm a critic clearly.

Heh, yes. I thought this too.



View original postI've yet to read and see the Godfather, so I'm kind of curious - are all the references (to begin with "Camorr" itself) to the mafia in general, or to the Godfather in particular?

I don't know, but it does feel very Godfatherish, from what I remember.

What do you mean by "lampshading"? Rebekah - 18/06/2013 02:52:46 PM 697 Views

The first part of the book is a little slow, I've decided. Rebekah - 25/06/2013 05:05:45 PM 657 Views

I finally grabbed my book off the shelf so I could see what these chapters were. Nate - 16/07/2013 03:45:50 PM 713 Views
I'll come back to actually reply, but I just wanted to let you know that I've read this. *NM* Rebekah - 24/07/2013 06:35:54 PM 317 Views
I think this is where I became quite impressed with Lynch's plotting. Rebekah - 30/07/2013 02:20:31 PM 1195 Views

These are very satisfying chapters, on the whole. Rebekah - 30/07/2013 03:11:28 PM 719 Views
Locke's scheme is probably one of my two favourite sequences in the book. Nate - 02/08/2013 11:13:40 PM 707 Views
Those interludes suddenly started to remind me very strongly of Lost. Legolas - 14/08/2013 09:01:04 PM 1297 Views
Chapters 15 and 16 and the epilogue. *NM* Rebekah - 30/07/2013 02:09:39 PM 306 Views
Disappointing, on the whole, I felt. Legolas - 14/08/2013 09:25:31 PM 737 Views
I liked parts of it, but you make good points. Nate - 15/08/2013 05:45:14 PM 828 Views
Yeah, I liked parts too - but still. Legolas - 15/08/2013 06:54:19 PM 661 Views
I enjoyed it enough to overlook any deficiencies, apparently. Rebekah - 21/08/2013 08:09:54 PM 813 Views
