Johannes Cabal the Necromancer por Jonathan L. Howard

Based on the description and the rec I received, I was expecting this to nearly be a comedy about a necromancer collecting souls to save his own hide. And it kinda is...but not really. I think we're only really with Cabal while he collects 5 souls and the rest is more of less off-screen. Really, this book is about a necromancer that doeabt get along with his vampire brother (or anybody else for that matter) and his eventual 'redemption'

In the meantime, there are constant cutaways to other people who traded their souls for something but the writing for those sections is such a shift from when we're with Cabal that every time you cutaway, it jars you out of the story.

In all honesty, I should have DNFd this back in the first few chapters when I realized Howard's writing wasnt working for me.… (mais)

Johannes Cabal the Detective por Jonathan L. Howard

(3.5 stars)

I liked this book, but parts of it drag on or are very dry. The story is interesting and the storytelling is unique. I will read the next book in the series but I’d really like to read something else by the author first.

This book is like “a week in the life of a necromancer” rather than a story with a set beginning, middle, and ending. Because of that, it is slightly anti-climactic, but only because it carries the same energy throughout the book.

Katya's World (Strange Chemistry) por Jonathan L. Howard

Rusalka is entirely a water world, colonized by humans hoping to extract valuable heavy metals from the deeps. Katya is a newly licensed submarine pilot, working her first job for her Uncle. They are sunk by a mysterious monster then rescued by the military.
It is a fast-moving story that mostly takes place under water. giving this a post-war thriller feeling.

After the end of the world por Jonathan L. Howard

I can't say anything without being a spoiler. Writing and characters are good, but the real bomb is the plot. Thoroughly intrigued and confused at the same time. Excellent!
