New character brought some intrigue. But this is like watching a really long game of chess, lol. So not a new fave but I am still interested in continuing the series.

Well that took another turn or two. I now have way more questions but I am enjoying the journey.

Liked this installment a little better. Shedding more light on our characters and the Radiant tech, but only a little. You see more where things may crossover with other series, which could be frustrating for some. This is all bigger than either us, the readers, or the main characters thought.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I appreciate how relatable Nathan is, especially in the beginning. And I also love how the story threw me several times with unexpected twists. I got halfway thinking I knew how this was most likely to go and then found out I was wrong. Then again it happened a couple of times. It's. Superhero origin story but not quite like those of the past. Definitely interested in continuing.
The Nice House on the Lake, Vol. 2, by James Tynion IV
5.0
Holy shit! Amazing writing as always. This volume had me emotional. A lot of questions answered but a small cliffhanger ending leaves us with more questions. Mainly what's going to happen next.

This left me with mixed feelings. It starts off very urban fantasy which I love then takes a sharp left into fantasy romance, which I like if that's what I'm going in for but that was not the case here. The best friend is a character that exists for no reason but to give calypso a friend. A angry, black woman for no reason just irritated me. But the chemistry was there for the romance. The relationship was built up via flashbacks mostly. However, I did feel the chemistry in the current day. The fantasy elements were interesting and I want to learn more about where this story goes as far as the big bad. I have a lot of questions,

I just can't. It's traumatizing. I as doing okay slowly reading and putting down. Then the flashback to a certain scene was just heartbreaking. Put me in a reading slump. I'm officially calling it.

Fave volume so far. I like that we get to see the seriousness of the issues between the East and West. Plus all the dogs were cute. It's still a very ridiculous and fun story, but the world building grounds it somewhat.
