Well. Right. My expectations were not too high, since I'm no fan of SRD's Last Chrons. I sort of enjoyed his last two novellas, and Seventh Decimate seems like a continuation, in a certain way.
Bifalt is still a problematic character to me, too stuck in his habits when e'one can see there are better choices to make.
It's a fast and easy read. Not too deep.
Ill pick it up some time in my travels but not gonna rush out and get it. Though I am intrigued to read it and see for myself now. Seems like not his best yet

i'm not actually reading any SF/Fantasy right now!
but you all probably know I split my reading time between crime/detective material and sf/fantasy. i'm on a detective thing right now but the most recent sf/fantasy I listened to on audible were King's Dark Tower series, then The Expanse.
I highly recommend listening to the expanse series on audio...the reader, Jefferson Mays is just extraordinary!!
i'm thinking, since J brought up a possible plot hole in The Gap (in another thread) that I may listen to that as soon as i'm finished with the last 3 jack reacher books.

where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I sorta lost interest in these around "Pandora" (with the exception of Blood and Gold), but I'm quite enjoying it actually.

I've been a fan of the latest books. Prince Lestat and The Realms of Atlantis. I literally couldn't believe some of the plot elements Anne Rice has introduced - things I never dreamed would be in the Vampire Chronicles, like Spoiler
ALIENS!!!
I have the new book (Blood Communion) but haven't read it yet. No time right now.
One thing I am really hoping to see is Spoiler
the death of FREAKING ROSHAMANDES!
How idiotic that Lestat allows that situation to fester when anyone with half a brain should realize what is going to happen (again).
I just read Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.
Kudos for her highly imaginative creatures, the Chimaera. I loved them. But beyond that, not much else to recommend it. In the end I feel kind of gypped, plot-wise, and I didn't care for the overuse of the word "frissons", and in the end it's just another Twilight. I won't be reading the further books in the saga.
So now I'm rereading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and loving every minute.
I really wanted to find a new epic saga to keep me engaged for several thousand pages, but the search continues...
