In the middle of The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble’s Braids by Michael McClung. It’s okay. Not really wowing me, but inoffensive enough. I think hearing it was a SPFBO winner built it up for me much more than it should have been.
I tried reading They Mostly Come Out at Night by Benedict Patrick and I just wasn’t feeling it, something in the tone of the MC put me off. Similar problem with the protagonists in both these books, actually. It feels like snark is used as a bandaid to cover for a lack of personality.
