My daughter arrived at 3:37 am October 18th.  I was seventeen pages into The Brief History of the Dead, irony of ironies.  Shall get back to you all with a review as soon as I can get enough awake hours of the day to finish the book and make my assessment.

The Sweet Over-Done Thing

A Review of The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray

I was rather tired of Gemma’s magic and the realms by the middle of this last installment in the trilogy.  What’s worse, I felt spoon fed an ending that would never end.  This one is the longest not because that much more happens in the story, but because the author found her wind and just kept blowing.  There is rumor of a fourth book and I pray Ms. Bray goes against that plan and starts something fresh instead.  Bray is a talented storyteller and should waste no more time on this particular story, but stretch her legs and do something more exciting than beat a dead horse with a fourth book.
