I agree that this one can stand alone but is so much better if you have the background. But LARCH! I hated him and now??? We will just have to see where that goes in #6. Can't wait! Thanks for stopping by my blog so we can chat more!<br />Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789434133357280773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863081696889117093.post-32621635276114176492018-05-29T21:50:31.341-05:002018-05-29T21:50:31.341-05:00Hallo, Hallo Kristine,
We've been convo'i...Hallo, Hallo Kristine,<br /><br />We've been convo'ing on Twitter about this lovely series we both love, admire & can't devour quick enough - I have been wanting to visit your reviews & add commentary - finally, I can start!<br /><br />Ooh, no! I forgot to mention this on my own review - how we broke the tradition of the series from whose perspective we're entering into the narrative - except to say, I sort of hinted at the fact, I *loved!* how this one 'returnt us back to centre' within the series itself - as Ms Amphlett did something the Castle writers failed to do: gave us, the readers a re-entry worthy of our beloved heroine without muddling the waters past recognition after a major insurrection/conspiracy!<br /><br />I still have issues trusting Larch! Oy.<br /><br />I could never say 'not to read' the series in order - I know it's the popular choice to read series out of order and sometimes I relent that I have to myself for different reasons but *at the same time* my personal preference is always: start to finish! In this instance though - even though this one is technically a bridge of a plot past the last four which were more inter-connected - as this is bridging us to a future shift in the series, I still felt I benefited from the prior novels - as there is a lot of back-history between Kay Hunter, her superiors and the ways in which she has a process for working through her anxiety, mental health and emotional stress - even the dynamics of her marriage are crucial to better understand how she functions.<br /><br />Great review as you gave key insights into why you loved hearing this story and of course, we both *love!* Ms Campbell with equal admiration for her immersive styling of giving us such a wickedly dynamic portrayal of Kay Hunter!<br /><br />Top cheers!<br /><br />Here's to book sixth! Pray it comes soon!Joriehttp://jorielovesastory.comnoreply@blogger.com
