I've just finished the Incryptid series except for about another dozen short stories. The main character of books 1, 2 & 5 definitely had the weakest books, but I'm glad I stuck with it because I really enjoyed almost everything from 6-12.
Now I'm about halfway through Alex Verus book 3. I read the first one a couple of years ago and liked it, but only got around to book 2 last week after seeing that post about the interview with the author. Good stuff.
Next week I'll probably get back to Incryptid, there's another trilogy set in the same universe but not part of the main series, I think it's about one of the side characters' origins or something. I don't remember what it's called.
I've just moved and my new local bookstore sells comics too, so I was planning to pick up Something is Killing the Children and The Nice House on the Lake by James Tynion as soon as I get a chance.
Also, halfway through Dead Beat. Still prefer the post-Changes books, still don't like Butters.
That's nice to know about Incryptid, it's on my wishlist, but I think I would read Rivers of London series first, I have already got the first two books, will start after reading some smaller series first.
I have also gotten pretty interested in Alex Verus, specially because it's an actually finished series, but unfortunately couldn't find the starting books at my local bookstore, so would have to order them. Will get to it once I have reduced my backlog a bit.
Something is Killing the Children, and The Nice on the Lake both sound great, I'll see if they have any omnibus editions coming out.
I had only read upto Death Masks before, though I don't really remember anything that happened in this book. Excited to see how the books develop.
The Nice House on the Lake has a hard cover collected release of all 12 issues coming out next month, not sure about the other one.
Check out "the podcast was on fire and it wasn't my fault," it's a guy who has read the Dresden Files a load of times and his sister who is new to the series, they go through a handful of chapters a week. I think they're in Dead Beat now so you could catch up easily enough if you wanted to. I stopped listening a few books ago but you might enjoy it more than I did.
Thanks for the heads up, will check out the omnibus and the podcast!
