Loved this book as watched the TV series. I think that the TV series made the book better. Atticus Pund did not end his life in the TV version but overall a good light read.
I thought it would be good however, it was boring and not going at a pace at all. The plot was also predictable. A double murder!!!
The author is in the book, writing it for a detective who is investigating a murder. It was a good premise, but it was a bit too pompous, ie going on about his connections etc and so I read it quickly. Good light read for holidays and train journeys.
Bast is a Farie, a mythical creature who supports the main character in the Kingkiller Chronicle's. This book follows his exploits over a few days, showing how he follows his hear to bargain and even help children in the next village. It shows his good nature coupled with his ingrained attitude that all Faries have.
