40-44

Still behind on posting. First books of April:

40. *Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson (576) A/Fan

Like Well of Ascension, I liked this book very much up until the end. It was well plotted with believable characters that I cared about, in situations that made sense within the plot and the universe. I have really liked the unique magic system from the beginning of the trilogy. But the end fell flat and the final resolution really just wasn't interesting.

41. The cat who said cheese (book 19) by Lilian Jackson Braun (272) A/Mys

I'm not sure I ever exactly understood exactly what was going on in this book. The later Cat Who... books are in general not as good as the earlier ones.

42. The cat who sniffed glue (book 8) by Lilian Jackson Braun (288) A/Mys

The mystery in this book doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and the answer sort of comes out of left field, but the rest of the story is as fun as any other Cat Wh...o book.

43. The cat who could read backwards (book 1) by Lilian Jackson Braun (256) A/Mys

Qwill wants the crime desk at the newspaper, what he ends up with is the art beat. It turns out to be more exciting than he anticipated, though, when his new acquaintances start dropping like flies. He takes care of his landlord's cat - the soon-to-be-famous Kao K'o Kung - who helps him solve the case and even saves his life.

Qwill is a fun character, if a bit sexist, and this is a great start to Koko's career as a mystery solver. These books are enjoyable fluff.

44. The cat who ate Danish Modern (book 2) by Lilian Jackson Braun (192) A/Mys

Taken off the newspaper's art beat, Qwill is now assigned to the Fluxion's new interior design magazine. What could go wrong photographing interior design? With Jim Qwilleran and Koko, his unusual Siamese cat, around, what couldn't happen? Robberies, raids, murders, the list goes on. This is the book in which Qwill finds Yum Yum, his second Siamese cat.

For all the murder and mayham in the Cat Who... books, they're light and fluffy (just like a cat!).
