A digital drawing showing a close-up of Thomas Nightingale's eyes. He's looking towards the viewer, showing the grey of his irises.
The same drawing but this time with a dramatic, silvery-white light emanating from Nightingale's eyes.
Magically glowing eyes featuring Nightingale. Inspired by how @spacecapart.bsky.social draws him! #riversoflondon
My vlog review of STONE & SKY by Ben Aaronovitch, the tenth novel in the Rivers of London fantasy series, but, unfortunately, the weakest.

A pencil sketch of a corner of the Folly's atrium. Molly and Nightingale sit in armchairs next to a table with a lamp on it, both of them mending clothes. On the ground between them stands a sewing basket. Foxglove sits in the foreground, sketching the scene.
A Quiet Evening of Mending (and Sketching), featuring Molly, Nightingale and Foxglove. #riversoflondon #art

“'The land is broken, the world is unfair, and the innocent suffer terrible blows,' said the boy. And then he smiled, and I felt the warmth of him like the sun rising over a spring pasture. 'I can’t fix everything, so I do the best I can.'”

4.25 Stars #RiversofLondon 07 Lies Sleeping by Ben Aaronovitch
Peter Grant is becoming one of my favourite characters in the crime solving setting. He's not perfect, but he's growing in his ability & it's fun to experience. Love Foxglove

15 small drawings of maps, one for each of the first 15 RoL moments. 1: the Navy and Military Club's original location at Piccadilly. 2: Florence (Arizona) in the US, with signs pointing to the too many prisons. 3: the BKA in Meckenheim. 4: the ground floor of the Folly. 5: Waterlow Park, funnily enough there's a building (or organisation?) called Lux there. 6: Casterbrook, at least where I think it might be. I followed the descriptions in Moon over Soho and then just plonked in a field. 7: the Brocken; I wasn't quite sure where exactly the moment takes place so I went with the top of the mountain. 8: this moment is an interview and I wanted that reflected in the drawing, so there's a cassette tape. And the New York Public Library since that's where Stephen works. 9: I spent so so long trying to find Swinfaeder in the Chilterns and I failed. I just put it on the other side of Ambrose forest, so very close to Casterbrook cause that's where the talking foxes seem to have come from. 10: Kite/Parliament Hill. 11: couldn't find Allcroft so I made something up. 12: Fortnum and Mason in London. 13: another interview, this time at the Folly. 14: there's only so much you can do with an ocean tbh. 15: this one drove me nearly to desperation since try as I might I couldn't find appropriate maps of Pitlochry around 1978 but I knew that the hospital has moved since then. Finally I went with a guess ^^
Little drawings for the for the #RiversOfLondon Moments inspired by the covers of the books and buoyed by my love for maps. I went down a few research rabbit holes to draw these and it was a lot of fun! #art

Good enough to push the main story along, but still...not a fan of short stories. Aways wanting more. Ugh.

3.25 Stars #RiversofLondon 5.8 King of the Rats [short story from Tales of the Folly] by Ben Aaronovitch
It was okay. Not sure if I've missed something, but it just felt out of left field. I guess the author is allowed this boon, but I was left underwhelmed.

4.25 Stars #RiversofLondon 05 Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch
Amazed how the world keeps expanding & the magic becomes more known, but still mysterious.
This story was tragic (in a way), with the crime elements & magical elements.

One of the things that I love about reading series (like this one), is that each book builds out the world, & we get more complex storylines & results. Having a LOT of fun.

This was serviceable, but it is just not my type of story. I love longer books, and short stories are such a tease. Ugh.

4.25 Stars #RiversofLondon 02 Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch
I'm loving this world, and how the author is unveiling/revealing it to us, the readers. This is First Person narrative, so however Peter Grant is learning, so are we.
