![]() The book was disappointing from the get-go and failed to deliver on what the last book promised, and actually lacked a bit of pacing in some parts. After the empowerment, sweeping romances, and intrigue of A Court of Mist and Fury (ACOMAF), A Court of Wings and Ruin just felt lacking. Unfortunately, I can’t help but to consider this book a disappointment. ![]() As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords-and hunt for allies in unexpected places. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit-and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well.

![]() The narrator demonstrated a good range of voices, and I'm sure he is a fine narrator for other books, but for some reason, he did Jim's voice in Adam West style mock seriousness, which did nothing for the characterization of our favorite hardened criminal. Of course, the narration didn't help either. The Stainless Steel Rat’s Revenge (1970) has a now rather dated sounding slightly Carry On film style storyline as the newly domesticated Jim is forced to team up with a tribe of beautiful sexually liberated Amazon women who are humanity’s last best hope against an interstellar war being launched by the Grey Men of the Planet Cliaand. ![]() ![]() Perhaps his years on the right side of the law have really made him soft. Nothing in this book required the SSR, and, in truth, he never appeared in more than name. C'mon, the old rat never worried about money - he just robbed a bank when he needed more. Inskipp, and composed mostly of ex-criminals like him. I should have been warned off by the fact that the first part of the book, Jim's biggest worry is his dwindling bank balance. Publisher: e-artnow 0 0 0 Summary Jim believes he has pulled off a successful bank job, but is out-conned into working for the Special Corps, the elite law-enforcement and spy agency led by the former greatest crook in the Galaxy, Harold P. Along the way they visit a pair of planets, which have vaguely interesting setups that could have led to an entire book earlier, but are now dealt with perfunctorily. The overarching plot that is supposed to tie the book together is the problem of relocating his bumpkin relatives and their porcine herd. ![]() ![]() Our rat is almost unrecognizable - no larceny, no cons, no jobs for the Special Branch, not even any real cleverness. I've long enjoyed tales of the Stainless Steel Rat, but this book just disappointed me all around. ![]() ![]()
