Listening to the audiobook - excellent story, with brilliant narrator. Best fantasy novel I've read/heard since Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy.
Laugh out loud funny in places, but with the occasional punch to the guts too. I;ve laughed and cried. Finding it very difficult to switch off and sleep at night!

Now that's weird, because I thought you recommended the Gentlemen Bastards to me.
Unless you did and it's only the audiobook that's new to you.
Just finished
More Awkward Situations for Men by journalist and occasional talking-head Danny Wallace. From the library, I wouldn't have bought it as it is a piece of froth. Funny froth though, in sippy mouthfuls. And pretty much every mini-chapter (think article, really|) made me laugh out loud, some really quite hard.
And
He's Always Watching by Chevy Stevens (female, unexpectedly.)
I wanted to see how it ended, and it was engaging, but again I'm glad it was from the library. No great writing or insight. A good travel read.
Just started what I think might be a teen book about zombies. Meh. Kills time. And eats it.
