I've a double dose of Mr Crepsley today, for those of you who can't get enough of the suave, grumpy, orange-haired charmer!

First up, a vlogger called Connor decided to read all four books in The Saga Of Larten Crepsley in just 12 hours. (Connor's a veteran of this kind of thing -- he read all 12 of the Cirque Du Freak books in 24 hours a while back!) You can find out how he got on by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CARLNws4xFg&feature=youtu.be

Next up, a reviewer called Loz read the four books (in an unspecified time span!) and wrote a more traditional review of the series, which you can check out here: https://lozhashersay.blogspot.com/2020/08/7-saga-of-larten-crepsley.html

Both reviewers really enjoyed the Mr Crepsley series (phew!), but intriguingly, while Connor decided he preferred the original Saga a little bit more, Loz actually preferred the prequel series!

Loz also raised the issue of whether one should start with Cirque Du Freak or Birth Of A Killer when reading the two series. While there are pros and cons either way, my advice, if you're new to my work, is to start with Cirque Du Freak, read the 12 books in that series, then check out the Mr Crepsley books. But if you're coming back for a re-read, you'll get a different feel for (and understanding of) the storylines if you start with the Mr Crepsley books, then push on from there, so it might be fun to do it that way.

But, hey, you guys are the boss, so whatever works for you is fine by me! :-)
