    I just finished another Morse novel, 'The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn'. It was a strange experience because initially I thought it was kind of disjointed and didn't feel like I was getting into it, but actually it turned out to be rather good. I think it's the more convoluted of his plots so far (I'm only a few books in) and since I barely remember the TV series, I'm able to read them pretty much unsullied. Except for that final event of course, I know that that is coming

    It was an interesting reading. I even thought there were some funny parts, with, of course, a twisted sense of humor. Most of the book is certainly not a pleasant story and it gets worse and worse, but it’s something pretty special and I hadn’t read anything like it before. I will check out other books by the Marquis in the future

    There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool, a hidden prophecy unfolds as a war builds between the supernaturally empowered "Graced" and the fanatic cult of "Witnesses" who oppose their existence. Told through multiple PsOV, a strong first novel of a series with great character and world building. There was a twist that was heavily foreshadowed, and it was a little irritating that it took so long to reveal.

    Well, it certainly wasn't boring!

    While I'm glad I read it for it's historical importance, this was easily the most unpleasant work of fiction I have ever tackled. Yes, some of the stories between the consenting adults were humorous (though almost always gross), but the rest? Egad! It was really, really rough. I was in a perpetual state of grimacing from page to page.

    Having said that, like you, it wouldn't preclude me from reading his other work.
