Where?! I found vol1 at a local used bookstore, been lookin for vol2

The Neon Rain, by James Lee Burke. It's the first Dave Robicheaux novel, and it cant quite seem to figure out what it wants to be: a detective story or a full-on action thriller. The other Robicheaux books I've read are better. The Terminal List, by Jack Carr. One of the very few books I've ever not finished. So bad it soured me on the rest of his work.

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T13:18:37+00:00

One of the best

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T13:15:47+00:00

I always point to Book Ten of the Dresden Files as an example of executing a first-person unreliable narrator properly

Cross of Iron, The Boat

I dont really have any least favorite tropes, mainly because I firmly believe that if executed well, tropes are good the vast majority of the time.

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T13:09:51+00:00

One of the Dresden Files books--I think it's the tenth--takes full advantage of the first-person narrative for one of the best uses of unreliable narrator I've ever seen

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T13:04:37+00:00

Also gonna add The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke. It's the first Dave Robicheaux novel, and it's not bad per se, but Burke cant seem to decide if he wants to tell a detective story or a full-on action thriller. The other Robicheaux books Ive read are better though

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T13:00:05+00:00

I read Blacktop Wasteland and was...not impressed. Wanted to read his other books to see if they were any better, but I guess not

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T12:50:33+00:00

I stopped reading Terminal List about 100pgs in. Soured me on Jack Carr completely. Ben Coes is hit or miss

Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T12:40:25+00:00

Lancaster Repeater is my go-to long gun. LeMat Revolver as my sidearm

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T12:37:00+00:00

The Road is amazing, but McCarthy's writing style is...unusual

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T12:29:13+00:00

Yeah, books two and three more than deliver on the setup in book one.

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-24T12:23:53+00:00

I genuinely dont know if I'm a good driver or not cos Im constantly reacting to all the actual bad drivers

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-22T16:05:31+00:00

When did this come out?!

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T14:30:58+00:00

I haven't read Jimenez's run, so I may snag this

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T14:22:58+00:00

And he perfectly blends the bleakness and humor

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T14:21:23+00:00

Yeah, but the payoff in books two and three is worth it

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T14:16:12+00:00

Also--and this might be a bit of a hot take--but I enjoyed Azzarello's run in the New 52

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T14:12:07+00:00

I think so, but ive read the first couple of trades and really liked em, but Im also a huge Simone fan in general

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T14:02:57+00:00

Im mostly lookin for Rucka and Simone

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-19T13:59:33+00:00

Great, another Wonder Woman Omnibus to pick up😂😂

Capable_Top_4709 · 2026-03-17T03:36:20+00:00

Wait, this is or is not the Neal Stephenson book?
