The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Brides in the Sky: Stories and a Novella in Books

Oct 7, 2020

As promised, my first book review of the New Year is for "Brides in the Sky" by Cary Holliday, which is a collection of mostly historical fiction short stories and a novella. If you ask me, shorter fiction is harder to write than novels, and you can find out if Holladay succeeded with this format on my new blog, here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/01/04/inconvenient-separations/

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Tokyo Performance in Books

I'm not going to put a full review up on my blog for this little book, which is too short to even be called a novella. This is a lovely character study story about a very troubled Japanese chef. Gently written and filled with humor, it is also quite sad. I don't recall which blog I found reference to these "Red Circle Mini" books, but thanks to whomever it was! Delightful!

3.5 stars.

For quite a short story it kept me entertained. I liked the romance and the continuous action throughout.

This was only my second foray into banshee's, though in Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series they aren't described as such, and I enjoyed it. The storyline was intriguing and kept me guessing who was behind the murder.

I look forward to continuing the series at some point in the future.

"The subprime mortgage issue triggered the credit crisis, which in turn caused the Great Recession. And yet, it was so complicated that I would not be surprised if quite a few storytellers had despaired of their ability to elucidate it, but The Big Short did it so brilliantly and made it accessible and understandable, and in the process, inspired demands for reform. I thought it was extremely well done."

In a Dark Wood I'm a huge fan of Josh Lanyon and whether it's a long story or a short one he always manages to draw you in. This was no different, though I wasn't expecting it to be so creepy.
 
I really like both Luke and Tim and can't wait to see what happens next with these two.
