A short story with a totally compelling idea. I read this years ago, and forgot what it was called; it would float into my head from time to time (especially the ending "Thus") and I'd be unable to find it. So eventually I caved in and asked the internet and they knew in short order, so well done Nicholas. Worth your time, and pretty short.

Averageish story; again, Sanderson proves good at inventing worlds and magic systems and not as good at people. Not sure I bought Lightsong's ending, nor love wherever it showed up. Vasher is cool, though. And Hoid! Cosmere fans must be super happy.

Got along with Crooked Cat and for the same reasons. This one is actually quite clever, before the horse got flogged all the way into death and beyond. Also, learned much from Wikipedia article about how these were written; I think when I was a kid I actually believed that it was Hitchcock doing the writing.

Bought on sheer whim after I remembered the thing being hidden in the cat but couldn't remember anything else about the plot. Had remembered Tunnel Two but not the other entrances.

Various famous thriller characters team up in twosomes, with stories written by the two writers in collaboration. Bought for the Lucas Davenport, of course. I haven't read any Jeffery Deaver before, and I don't think I'll bother since Lincoln Rhyme sounds like an arse. Nice to see Lily again. One day I will read the rest of the stories.

Everyone in this is a horrible, horrible bastard. It's very compelling, don't get me wrong, but if you're going to read it, you need a high tolerance for people having lives which suck and continue to suck and will never stop sucking and are ground into the mud, over and over again.

Second book of how a world entirely populated by the grubby and the nasty and the horrid goes. There is quite a lot of potentially very cool backstory going on which we don't find out much about. I think I'd like to read the Wikipedia articles about the sons of Euz.

Final book in trilogy of horrible people doing horrible things to one another. I was quite surprised by who the bad guy actually turned out to be; maybe everyone else knew it was coming (pardon, I'm avoiding spoilers). I've said to a few people looking for who "the good guys" are in A Song of Ice and Fire that there really aren't any good guys and any bad guys; there are just guys. In this, there are bad guys, and that's all there are, but one of them is considerably badder than most.

Started to read based on recommendations; did not continue. Just didn't like it; not sure why. It feels like the sort of thing I _ought_ to like.
