City of Songs by Anthony Ryan

4.0

City of Songs is now our third adventure in the Seven Swords novella series and it is my favorite installment so far. Anthony Ryan manages to pack a whole murder mystery element into City of Songs and it was so so much fun. I mean to truly keep me on my toes and guessing for 160 pages, bravo. I think one thing that has been really refreshing for this series, (and I think I am just now noticing it) every story has been a different structure. Whether it be a heist, mystery, war, you get the picture. With Ryan telling each story in this novella series in a different way is what's going to give this series an edge. It will always be something new.

As for my one issue I have been having, I do think these novellas could be a tad longer. I will survive though. Like I said in my last review, this sandbox is really quite entertaining. Anthony Ryan has a clear vision for what he wants to accomplish with this novella series and I am having such a blast.
