Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Just wrapped up “The Devils” by Joe Abercrombie. Really good first book to his new series. Top notch character building and prose. Classic fantasy characters based on old tropes but done really well with his unique flair. Best Werewolf I’ve ever read.

How "grim" is it? Compared to his First Law Trilogy

Equally grim. I believe the driver of his storytelling is trying to find a morsel of happiness in a dark and brutal world.

Ah, will keep it for "some day" then. I loved the First Law Trilogy but don't feel like reading anything that grim again.
