I really liked reading his three books back to back too--the author does a really good job of re-introducing his character without making it feel like that's what is happening.

I am a series addict, but I have so many that I follow that I'm starting to forget to follow some of them. I think that many of them DO fall into a rut of being in competition for the goriest, most violent books, but the real draw is the characters. I'm going to see what options I have in reading these.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-19835291754791637502012-08-27T07:47:06.123-07:002012-08-27T07:47:06.123-07:00I am so glad that you read all of these and that y...I am so glad that you read all of these and that you got along famously with them all as well.
