A Longer Fall

Gunnie Rose, Book 2

De: Charlaine Harris

Narrado por: Eva Kaminsky

Number one New York Times best-selling author Charlaine Harris returns with the second of the Gunnie Rose series, in which Lizbeth is hired onto a new crew, transporting a crate into Dixie, the self-exiled southeast territory of the former United States. What the crate contains is something so powerful, that forces from across three territories want to possess it.

In this second thrilling installment of the Gunnie Rose series, Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew for a seemingly easy protection job, transporting a crate into Dixie, just about the last part of the former United States of America she wants to visit. But what seemed like a straight-forward job turns into a massacre as the crate is stolen. Up against a wall in Dixie, where social norms have stepped back into the last century, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate as what's inside can spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time.

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse mysteries and Midnight, Texas trilogy) is at her best here, building the world of this alternate history of the United States, where magic is an acknowledged but despised power.

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4
A Longer Fall is the second installment of Charlaine Harris’ Gunnie Rose series.

A Longer Fall picks up a few months after the end of An Easy Death. We catch up with Lizbeth Rose (aka Gunnie Rose) and her new crew of Gunnies. We find them on a train headed to Dixie with a package. Dixie is not a place the Lizbeth would normally want to be but the package needs to be delivered. What should have been an easy sit on the box and deliver turns out to be not so lucky for the Lucky Crew. A train derailment leads Lizbeth and her crew facing enemy after enemy. But in the midst of all the chaos a familiar face emerges. One Lizbeth never thought she would ever see again.

Eva Kaminsky does a great job again bring these characters to life. I really enjoyed having her read this story to me. I do hope that she stays on for the rest of this series.

I really enjoyed this book and I am already looking forward to the next installment in this series. Lizbeth is a great character and I enjoy watching her grow as a person. I have high hopes for what might come next in this series.

Note: I would recommend reading this series in order. I think you could read book two without book one but there is a lot of history that you will miss if you don’t.

Ginnie Rose Feels Real

I've read just about everything Charlain Harris has ever written. This novel ranks right up there with the best of her work. Rose is a fabulous heroine and her struggles feel so plausible, even (perhaps especially) given the fantasy elements of the setting. Victory is never easy and never complete. If/when she gets her happy ending, it will be because she truly earned it.

Not as Good as the First Book

This is Book 2 in the Gunnie Rose series - and while I hope there will be more I didn’t think the story in this book lived up to the potential of the series. Gunnie Rose is a great character but the story here is a retread of tales of the deep south and not all that imaginative. I hope the next book in the series will do justice to the world Charlaine Harris has created.

That Russian Accent

I really like this book, such a great spin on the genre. Looking forward to the next one.

The reader is good too, accept for that Russian accent. It’s a lot to deal with. It’s bad.

Otherwise, great book.

Good intro book and series for non-gunslinger fans

it took me a long time to start this series. westerns and gunslinger type stories have never really been something I'd choose on my own. But I really enjoyed the Southern vampires series, and have been really sick and desperately needed a world I could escape to. So far the Gunnie Rose series has been both thrilling, intriguing, and oddly relaxing. I even followed up by listening to the slightly abridged/edited version of this book produced by graphic audio. I'm not a big fan of a bunch of background noises, sound effects, and a bunch of different voices (the Star wars audiobooks are about as far as I'll venture into that kind of thing), but I enjoyed it. I definitely recommend the book and the series.

Original story and characters

In a sea of books that are all the same, this one really stood out. Perfect mixture of fantastical and realistic. I’m hooked!
