A Kafkaesque bittersweet ghost story
For a first novel, Luke Smitherd has done himself justice bringing together classic existentialism, quite literally, with a touch of magical realism. An incredibly interesting concept discussing the in between phase of purgatory and reincarnation and how as humans, we cease to function without the basic notion of togetherness wrapped up in as easy to follow narrative.
While there were a few holes in terms of lack of character development for the the few people in the plot, the author performed his book well and it held together in the end.

DNF at 78%. I usually don't rate books I haven't finished but I think I read enough of this trash to give it a rating.
It's taken me 4 months to realise I'm just never going to finish this.
I was really, <b>really</b> looking forward to reading this book, and for quite a long time I really was enjoying it, but then it just kept going and going and there were all these stories that didn't fit together that Wong tried to fit together and it was just torturous to read.
Don't pick this up, just don't bother. Read something else.

Geralt - I mean, do I have to say more? (4 more)
The story of Yennefer
"Toss a Coin to Your Witcher"
"Oh, valley of plenty"
"Oh, valley of plenty, oooh..."
Amazing series! As a video gamer, I truly enjoyed it!
Before you start watching, you need to know that there are three different times going on in this series, and The Witcher is in all of them, so this might be confusing.
1. The Witcher - before everything else happened
2. The Witcher - together with Yennefer
3. The Witcher and Yennefer - together with Ciri.

Awwwww! <b>"...and lived happily ever after."</b>
I loved it...when they finally got their shit together and just admitted their feelings, though it took 620 pages!
I laughed, I cried, I ranted, I got driven up the wall several times...
It only took eleven books but they finally, finally, got together and in the end it was so sweet.
As for the other points of the story: What's going to happen with the baby? What about Xcor and his Band of Bastards? What happened to Marisol/Sola? What about Trez and Selena?
I need answers!

Hmm
This wasn't the best in terms of... layout, shall we say? Paragraphs that should have been separated ran together so one minute she was in her office, the next paragraph she was somewhere miles away doing something unconnected. It was a bit wishy washy like that in places.
In terms of the storyline. I'm glad she's back together with Damon but other than that the plot kind of bored me. It wasn't as exciting (or heart-breaking) as some of the previous books and I skipped bits.
I'm not sure yet if I'll read any more of the series

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Bellman & Black in Books
Oct 7, 2020
Despite William Bellman's humble beginnings, his intelligence, hard work and business acumen made a success out of everything he touches. However, much like the rooks that dance in the skies, death was always swooping in and out of his life.
This haunting tale is a truly compelling read and Setterfield is a very exciting talent. She has the ability to mold and shape a story together with her characters and settings that all blend in together to make one, complete vibrant picture.
