Review:

It feels like the se­ries is get­ting in a bit of a rut, which is nor­mal con­sid­er­ing it's the 4th book al­ready. Start­ing the 5th tonight!

Review:

I un­der­stand this book is not for ev­ery­one. I un­der­stand the idea of a par­al­lel uni­verse with an Alas­ka Jew­ish state, fa­mous for their Shoyfer cell­phone brand­s, in­hab­it­ed by yid­dish-s­peak­ing cop refugees from 40s noir nov­el­s, about to be rein­te­grat­ed Hong Kong-­like in­to the US is not for ev­ery­one.

So, it's not for ev­ery­one, but it's for some, and if it's for you, it's awe­some.

Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, #2)

Cover for Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, #2)

Review:

I have very mixed feel­ings.

It was en­ter­tain­ing, but it seems I can't buy book #3 be­cause of re­gion­al re­stric­tions in the Kobo and Ama­zon book stores. I *can* buy #4 and #5 but why would I do that if I can't read the mid­dle book.

This may just be an­noy­ing enough to put me off the se­ries :-(
