It’s 1949, and the Second World War ended with a peace that left Hitler in power in Germany and fascism rising in Britain. But Walton is really good at making Ha’penny feel like a standalone novel. Honestly, you couldn’t tell from this book that there was one previous-obviously the first book would have filled in some of the backstory to how we got to now, and I would have met Inspector Carmichael sooner. Even when I don’t love them, I like them, which is the case here. I picked this up for $5 from a used bookstore because it’s a Jo Walton novel I haven’t read, and I really like Jo Walton’s books. Did Kara read this book totally unaware that it’s the middle of a trilogy? Absolutely I did that.
