Started Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Just started it, not much to say about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

How did you like Roadside Picnic?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It was interesting. There were some narrative jumps that I couldn't tell if there was a problem in translation or a problem with editing.

Apparently the OG book was heavily censored in Russia and this edition claims to have restored the original, but like I say, there are gaps.

The ending feels a little... unresolved.
