On paper it doesn't sound too exciting and honestly it isn't. There is tension and action but it's not some super exciting spy thriller. It's more toned down to fit tone of the book. Despite that I enjoyed this one a lot. Writing is smooth, characters are likable, villains aren't stupid and cops are competent (for the most part) and science is real with some lot of organic chemistry. Also despite following environmentalist group book doesn't feel preachy like a lot of books with similar themes tend to be....more

I didn't find it bad either but high expectations are a bitch and I had higher from father of cyberpunk.

In volume 5 we finally get some answers as plot slowly unravels and things are starting to heat up. Only problem with this kind of series is that half a year wait between collected editions ( at least for us who don't read individual issues) is killing a lot of suspense. ...more
I was thinking between 3 or 4 stars but I ended giving it 4. Yes it was bit of disappointment but that doesn't mean it's a bad book. Wooden sea (thirdI was thinking between 3 or 4 stars but I ended giving it 4. Yes it was bit of disappointment but that doesn't mean it's a bad book. Wooden sea (third book in this series ) is one of my favourite books ever so it had nearly impossible expectations to live up to.
Unlike Wooden sea Kissing the beehive doesn't have supernatural/Sci-fi elements instead it's a murder mystery. What it has in common with it is that child/teenager we where vs adult we are now theme. When we stopped being one and started being another and what experiences separate the two.
One big plus for this book is that it adds more history to Franie McCabe who is awesome character even in this book....more
