I'm starting to think that I've missed some important details

[conuly]

by only reading the novels in the Rivers of London series and - since they're not easy to read on Kindle and who wants mail nowadays? - not getting the graphic novels.

I guess I could read them on the kindle app on my computer? Is it worth it?

I've not tried reading them in e-format so can't say anything about that experience, but content-wise I do find the GNs worthwhile. It's definitely possible to follow just the real novels, but the GNs have some fun bits in them, occasionally advance the background plot (in ways that later pop up in the real novels), and have some good stuff for certain secondary characters (e.g. a Guleed-centric comic, a Varvara-centric comic, more stuff about Bev).

(I buy the trades in hard copy and then pass them around for to a couple of friends who are also fans, whom I either see IRL or exchange parcels with on a regular basis.)

I gotta say, the most off-putting and annoying aspect of Martin Chorley is his taste in books. (Though the fact that he puts bad jokes in Elvish on his deathtraps is enough for me to decide he deserved his fate.)

But the way Peter got the joke translated was awesome!

Yes, it was.

The only thing worse would've been to do the same joke in Klingon.
