(DNF, Some spoilers) – I enjoyed the Atrocity Archives and so I thought I’d give Jennifer Morgue a spin. I had the same enjoyment of it, until, unexpectedly and inexplicably, it resorted to hard core pornography. Thankfully this happens early, when I was invested, but not too invested in it. I looked at the other things I had on my TBR pile and decided to pass on it. Perhaps this style of the book passes, but it looked like Stross wouldn’t resist the temptation to keep doing this X rated stuff throughout, so I just bailed. It was a pity because I enjoyed the writing and enjoyed the mystery he was setting up.
