I greatly enjoyed this book. A who done-it with interesting characters

Not much better at writing reviews either. But I quite liked this different view of magicians.

Another very enjoyable Leaphorn and Chee adventure.

Edit: I should add that Leaphorn has an interesting path through this story that I really appreciated. And there's other thoughts that just don't seem to want be articulated on paper. td

A sequel to the previous book Hope. Set a generation beyond Hope this is just as or more Grimm. The characters are interesting and not just one dimensional except when they really are. Corporations and govt and greed and humans being human. Sometimes hard to read . But again very well done and worth your time.

I really disliked this book along the way of reading it. Had to put it down for a bit a few times. Not because it was bad, it’s not at all. But because it’s so chilling in describing a near future. Well Done

I really liked this. Imagine a 67 year old main character! With an old rock star tour bus. Who's an accountant. Lots of money, blocks, chains and keys floating around. And retirement.

I finished it. But. won't go looking for the next in the series. The two main characters are not ones I warmed p to. I think this is more a YA book which I didn't see or pay attention to before reading. I had liked the authors Paper Magician books so thought I'd try this. Oh well.

A fairly quick read. Much more a “who-dun-it” than sf. But that’s ok it’s enjoyable. I am a fan of the author , I just like his writing

Interesting start of a series with a mix of kind of magic” like stuff but mostly two school friends working through the rembernces of school and its lasting effects. I’m not doing this justice so go read it.

I like it sometimes when I don't remember why I wanted to read a book. This was one. It can make it a bit difficult at first. Either the author was being sparse of I was being more dense than usual.
By mid point or so I was all in. And really enjoyed it. a couple tears may have been shed at the end. Wonderful.

Rating this 4 stars partly due to fond feeling for something I initially read 50ish years ago.
Originally published in 1958 its a story of a group of people that were different. And you can guess what happens at least in general. It's a fairly short story that's part of The Future Histories stories and introduces Lazarus Long. Certainly this writing and dialog is 1950's and there is a fair amount of hand waving to move the story along. But I liked it.

Some interesting characters that it took awhile to decide if I liked any of them. Which was OK. It's not a spoiler to say there are Ghost Hunters on a weekend hunt. but they aren't the main characters. Although I was thinking of the GhostHunter show here in the US with the Roth-Rooter plumbers a few years ago.

Im not sure how to describe the rest except it kept my interest and enjoyed it. Will read the next installment.

Another very good chapter with the Fools. I quite like Mr Gordon's writing. Witty with fun word play. Good characters and a "fun" story with a bunch of history thrown in.
I do wonder where Rico ended up though.

Elves, humans, native Americans, Red Hands, magic guns and more. Oh, and destruction and evil and humans.

Quite an enjoyable read. And I like and get invested in the characters. good job.
