Small thoughts on the books I've finished during November:
Shadow Prey (John Sandford, 1990): Fun thriller, better than "Rules" in a lot of ways, somewhat problematic in others. The almost "For the Evulz" mentality of the main villain is somewhat underwhelming. Could it be published today? Maybe, with some tweaks, especially regarding Shadow Love.
Viajeros en la Noche (George R.R. Martin, compiled 2012): I've read two stories from this Spanish compilation of science fiction stories by GRRM.
a. The Stone City: Didn't like it too much. A bit obtuse for me, I think. The ending had a very "House of the Undying" from AGOT feel.
b. The Way of Cross and Dragon: I liked it much more, maybe because it felt closer to me in some way. Reminded me of the Endymion duology by Dan Simmons.
h. Nightflyers: Captivating read. At first I thought the theme was going to be something related to voyeurism, since it paid a lot of attention to how the characters were being watched all the time. I was a bit surprised when it turned into horror/mystery. The characters were well-defined. I felt like the ending didn't really hit the mark, though. The truth about the volcryn felt rushed.
