mark one month til False Value is out...where do you see the a rivers of London series going?

To be honest, I have no idea. I think I'm already one book behind - the last one I've read was Lies Sleeping (novel) and The October Man (novella). Not that I've given up on the series, but I have so much else to read!

The only guess I have right now, which might already be out of date, is this: I suspect that Aaranovich is about to wrap up Peter's story - by which I don't mean kill him off, just wrap up his personal storyline - , though probably not the universe's, and will move on to different narrators in the main novels. Since The October Man amused me by briefly mentioning the Rhine Maidens, I'm hoping for another German outing (no matter whether as novella or in the main novels) and said maidens, but that's purely for frivolous local reasons and not for storytelling needs. I think that might have been one of the reasons for experimenting with different povs in the comics (haven't read them, have just heard about them) and novellas - to see whether he can tell stories in this universe without Peter Grant.

The Other Days


In other news, most of the 18th century historical content we've collected during the last half a year so is now uploaded on [community profile] rheinsberg . Neatly tagged and ordered by subject, thus hopefully user friendly to people who aren't [personal profile] cahn, [personal profile] mildred_of_midgard or me.

To give you an example: interested in Voltaire? Check out Mildred's hilarious overview of the Voltaire and Frederick the Great relationship, my write-up on the Voltaire-Friedrich correspondance, and Mildred's review of the Émilie du Chatelet & Voltaire biography by David Bodanis.
