I really liked The Divine Cities trilogy. It was a really interesting world and I like the writing styles. I read all three books back to back in about a week and a half because I found myself thinking about the story in my off time and being pulled back to see what happens next.

I actually went and got Foundryside which is the start of another series by Robert Jackson Bennett.

I’ve read all the Reacher novels up to this one and I like the series a lot. I’ve been a big fan of the Spenser series by Robert B. Parker/Ace Atkins and the Elvis Cole series by Robert Crais and I draw parallels to the Reacher series.

The character is almost super humanly infallible which can take you out of the story a small bit and there’s been an off and on again Bond girl style theme in some which is not my taste. Despite these small gripes of mine the mystery is always well crafted, usually with a reveal you didn’t see coming, and the pacing is well done and really moves the story along.

What do you think of Death Masks? I love the Dresden Files but really wish Butcher would give us a new book each year.
