serynI'm still reading the latest Butcher book, Ghost whatever. I don't think I've touched it since I posted last though. I'm not a huge fan of Butcher. Simon loves his books through. And Dresden did grow on me once he finally grew up. But I generally prefer books where the characters flail less.
I've started on the latest Todd McCaffrey book, which he collaborated with his mother Anne McCaffrey on. My complaint about Todd's books is that they're OC fanfic. And back then Anne had said no fanfic, it's my playground, you stay out. But Todd's work was amateurish and confusing and frankly uninteresting. So it was okay to Anne if people fanficked her world, but only if they were family and making buttloads of money off it--- even if the quality was terrible. This one, mommy has come back to drag Todd's ass out of ignominy. And the editing is so bad, you'd think it was a Laurell K. Hamilton book. So far it's the same story yadda yadda not enough dragons. Dragon riders suspiciously laggy and lethargic... hmmm. maybe it's the same thing it was the last 3 times we've seen it! Dragon riders go back in time or forward in time and double up so they can pull a magic cure out of their collective asses. And this might be interesting to me if any of the main characters were of interest. Ah well, I borrowed it from the library, so at least I didn't pay for it.
I also have another book, by E.E. Knight, who I have never read before. It's book 5 in the series, but that's the only one the library owns. I figured I could at least see if the writing suited my preferences before I invested a lot of money.
