Mud and Vinegar

Mud and Vinegar is the "starting position for new trashboys" in the Under, functioning as a massive latrine and waste processing area. The room is made of "cement" with "big pits [that] lined the floor... each maybe ten feet in diameter". It is a foul environment where "the whole room smelled like shit. Like literal shit". Waste is managed through "large pipes leading into those pits" and "big, corrugated off-white plastic pipe[s]" that produce a "horrible whining sound" and a "grinding sound mixed with a high-pitched scream" when the pumps are activated.

Contextually, this is where Phoenix was forced to work after being demoted from the killgirls. The room also features a "sewer release valve" or "maintenance hatch" that allows trashboys to clean the system—a mechanism that Phoenix and Beam later used to kill Quynn by drowning him in a "ten-foot pile of brown and yellow refuse".

I just finished this series. Overall it was a good read, an interesting twist on elves, humans,and other creatures.

I did find it hard to track just who was who and when things were happening with the myriad timelines.

The one thing that truly disappointed me was the introduction of JRR Tolkien into the storyline. It felt like a name drop for attention. I was in the last book, it wasn't needed and almost spoiled the entire read for me. Hence only four stars.

These are great stories and I can't wait to read the next one. I reallybdon't want them to end.

I really enjoyed this series, Writer was new to me ,
Glad I purchased these ebooks ,mine forever.I recommend this whole series.

I really liked the plot development in this series of books. I would encourage anyone who enjoys this genre, to read this series. They are a little different to the run of the mill books .

This book just wasn't to my taste in fantasy. I don't read foul language and don't like such darkness. Sorry I ordered the whole series before I realized this.

Loved reading them.

Loved the 10 book series. Exciting how all the characters merged throughout the books. Had to keep reading no housework for 2 weeks.

The writing was great, but the story was uninspired. After finishing the first book, I did not have enough interest to continue.

Good fun reading. Your use of expletives on occasion was a bit of a shock as they came out of the blue compared to the rest of the narrative, doesn't bother me, just stood out some.
Good stuff

It's a very engrossing series. Definitely doesn't slow down.
