A review by broutt
The Silver Spike by Glen Cook
4.0
I am loving this series so far. There's nothing that explicitly blows my mind but it's just a fun story with a weird and interesting world. I was wondering why this one was called book 3.5 when it seems like it was just part of the story focusing on side characters but it seems to have fully wrapped them up which wasn't expected. I'll miss a couple of them but I'm also excited to get back to Croaker and gang.
One thing that's really grown on me throughout these books is the narration. I like that the main narration is from first-person perspective while the other chapters are third. The author has done a great job throughout the series having multiple storylines going on at the same time and bringing them together in the end.
This one specifically was just a fun story. It definitely feels somewhat like filler if these characters don't have any impact on the rest of the story, but I do appreciate the effort in just making sure some of these stories are wrapped up instead of just having them disappear after their arc in the main series. The books have also done a great job of making me care about these characters introduced in a book who end up being one of the main perspectives. Usually that feels forced or like a death is being set up that I wouldn't care about but it's done well here.
Loving it, excited to see where the main plot goes.
