Child of Fire by Harry Connolly
Traditional or self-published: Traditional
Rating: Disliked (Hated-Disliked-Okay-Liked-Loved)
Connolly is the author who wrote the trilogy I just finished, the one I loved so much. I was hoping this series of books would work for me as well, but unfortunately not.
Urban fantasy (which I don't like at all) mixed with crime drama (which I like even less). The main character was released from prison to help a powerful magic user, but I didn't like either of their characters, and the situation didn't hook me at all.
Because of how much I liked the trilogy, I gave this a lot more chance than I usually would. I read for three nights, hitting the 9% mark, before I gave in and decided I just wasn't enjoying it at all. I wish I had liked it!

These three books I read weeks ago, before the long trilogy I just finished. Alas I can't tell you much about them, since it was so log ago. I'm listing them here for record keeping purposes.
