seconding recommendations

I've got two book recommendations to second. These were initially recommended
by folks here and I had the good sense to pay attention to them.

First, Bernard recommended Ben Aaronovitch's "Rivers of London" series. I've
read the first two of these and I loved them. I'm probably going to read the
third in the next month or so. These are police procedurals (I think that's
the term) where the police in question are those that handle the weird cases
for the London police.

The American version of the first in the series is called "Midnight Riot".
That's a terrible title for an excellent book. The eponymous riot was an
important part of the book, but not an overarching part of it.

Second, Alexandre recommended "The Orc of Many Questions". This dealt with
an adolescent orc who asks too many question. This had a really great orc
culture -- much better than the "fight, kill, pillage" culture most orc books
present. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.

Thanks for the recommendations! I really appreciate y'all telling me about
those books.


Here's another recommendation, but I stumbled on this rather than it being
recommended to me. "Nine Goblins" by T. Kingfisher was also excellent. It's
about nine goblins (oddly enough) who are involved in the goblin wars against
humans and elves. Again, much more than merely "fight, kill, pillage" and
the goblins have distinctive personalities. I also just discovered that T.
Kingfisher is the pseudonym of Ursula Vernon, who did "Digger".
