Madeleine Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I'd love to know more about Nightingale, I suspect he could have a series of his own. Quote

I cant remember! 18 hours ago, Raven said: but she is not human, so how would she articulate her thoughts? What would that read like? I have absolutely no idea but I'd like to find out . 18 hours ago, Raven said: I suspect that will be the way we will learn more about her, but I also suspect it will be drip fed over a number of books, rather than being told in a single story. Definitely agree. And I quite like that as well. Like... Spoiler the way we found out about the other woman who's like Molly and knows her somehow (can't remember her name right now). The way that information dripped into the main story ('hey she can do that thing Molly does', then 'oh, she's the same thing as Molly!', then 'Oh she actually knows Molly!?') was just perfect. It made the mystery of Molly's background even more interesting. Quote
Marie H Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I would like see more of DCI Seawoll. Especially as he hates the magic stuff. Quote
Hayley Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 I needed some good news today - just in time for my birthday in April too! Quote
Marie H Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Though April seems a long way to wait! Quote
Raven Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 And just too add a little more excitement... The Waterstone's edition will have a Nightingale short story! It's less than 5 months away, folks! Quote
Marie H Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 I've just pre-ordered the Audible version of RoL #9 Quote

Raven Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 Oh, and it's less than 4 months to go now! Quote
Marie H Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Yay for AMONGST OUR WEAPONS 👍😍 And the YT vid was awesome too!! Edited December 10, 2021 by Marie H Quote

I wonder what the ‘weapons’ are!? 16 hours ago, Marie H said: And the YT vid was awesome too!! I didn’t see that there was one! Will have to look it up later Quote
Hayley Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Ooooh have you all seen the new teaser video for Amongst our Weapons?? Any predictions? Do you think the mask… Spoiler Is a reference to Lesley?? But she can’t be the person we don’t expect… https://twitter.com/ben_aaronovitch/status/1492092298557067266?s=21 Quote

But she can’t be the person we don’t expect… Spoiler Lesley was my first thought, when I saw the mask, but given she was in the novel before last she's hardly unexpected (as you say!) The obvious one you wouldn't expect is Martin Chorley/The Faceless Man give he is supposed to be dead, but I cannot see how that would work! Struggling to think of who else it could be... Quote
Hayley Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Had the same thought on Spoiler Chorley. It definitely would be unexpected! But surely not possible… The way they did the error message was interesting too… some kind of tech attack in this one? Quote

Raven Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Less than a week to go before Amongst Our Weapons is released! Quote
Hayley Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Having finally gotten around to reading Amongst Our Weapons (just over half way through now), I feel I can safely say that it's living up to expectations!! Also having this thought a lot more in this one: Spoiler I used to really want Lesley to come back, have a change of heart and help Peter again - but now I really just don't like her. I'm also not entirely sure I understand her motivation any more - does she want to undermine the Folly? Does she blame them for what happened to her, and not being able to 'fix' it? Quote
lunababymoonchild Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Catching up with the rest of you I have just finished the first in the series Rivers of London. I felt that it was quite close to the Frey and McGray books but that didn't stop me reading it. I also enjoyed how the water gods/goddesses/spirits were portrayed and I'm looking forward to reading the second one - I have eight of them so far. 1 Quote

I agree, it does have similarities to Frey and McGray - I think the biggest difference is that [potential spoiler for the first Frey and McGray book] Spoiler There is never any doubt that the supernatural is real in Rivers of London, while everything has a potential rational explanation in Frey and McGray. I also love the portrayal of various spirits of the land - that gets even more interesting later 1 Quote
lunababymoonchild Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 I agree and am looking forward to the next one Quote
Hayley Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Next years novella has been announced! Winter’s Gifts, out in June! Will this be another Toby one, do you think? Quote
Hayley Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Winter’s Gifts is out! I’m going to have to resist buying my copy for a little while (after the unexpectedly huge expense of having to buy a new laptop when mine died during the week and an upcoming trip we planned ages ago!) but I’m hoping some of you will be able to tell me if it’s a good one 😄 Quote
