Thoughts on “Broken Homes” by Ben Aaronovitch

175 words or less, thoughts and feelings that I had after reading the book

My last note in my commonplace book for this book read  “probably my least favorite, What happens next?”

Broken Homes is the fourth in the series written by Ben Aaronovitch. Following Peter Grant’s magic adventures in the London,it’s fae inhabitants, and his investigations into a series antagonist, the Faceless Man. I still enjoy the writing and characters that I came to love through previous books. The problems came from the slow burn pace, the lack of a single case to follow direction, and my difficulty in understanding the architecture that becomes a main focal point for this book. I had trouble fully understanding the villain’s plan until the end. It took me several reads for me to understand what was going on. Despite my issues with the book, I want to see more. I’m not letting one book that is difficult to parse stop me.
