If you’re waiting for an actual plot to start I’d recommend tweaking your expectations. This is much more a character driven book than a big action sequence story. There are definitely a number of smaller dramatic bits but overall it’s about development. I suggest just sitting back and getting to know these people.

Also, I hope you like canals.

Hello Graydons - I have a friend going through a rough patch and looking for “getting swept away” in a story. I kind of want to recommend A Succession of Bad Days, but do you think skipping the first book would be too detrimental? I know the kind of stuff she likes and I think the style would put her off. Plus she could do with more optimism and love than horrible carnage and demon things right now.
