Devilish
I have run out of Lucifer. Again. This keeps happening. Even worse, they had to take a shooting break due to Covid, so now there's a looooong break until the rest of season five. No fair, 2020.
But! All is not lost, because I have this:
New Susanna Clarke book! I haven't read it yet, partly because I'm halfway through another book, and partly because I think it warrants just looking at for a while. The blurb on the inside cover reads:
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has.
In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.
Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims?
Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous.
The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.
It's not JC&MN, obviously. And in comparison is quite thin. Still, it's bound to be a good read, and I'm looking forward to it.
Still want more Lucifer though. *grumble*

Enjoy, and I'm sorry about the S5 wait.

The only thing that bugs me is the decision to play the bad guy with a physical deformity. He's very Richard III, which seems very dated.

Still at least you have a shiny book to comfort you!
