Finished OF BLOOD AND FIRE by. Ryan Cahill. Had an absolute blast. Lots of somewhat tropey stuff that mimics existing media (WOT, DEMON WARS, ect.) but often goes in directions Iw as not expecting. Cahill very much likes to let you settle into a tropey scene and then yank the rug last minute and go off in a new direction. Which made it feel fresh, while also feeling familiar. Is it the best? No, but as a first book in a series I had so much fun, and I've heard the sequels are leaps and bounds better in terms of story and where everything goes. I have two of the next books, so I will definitely be reading them.
Also finished Patrick O'Brian's REVERSE OF THE MEDAL (Aubrey & Maturin Book 11), which puts me at JUST over halfway done this series. Still as good as ever. I'm not SUPER into the back half of this book with stock market swindles and shit happening on land....but Aubrey and his cohorts on land DOES always lend itself to really funny stuff because they are all so lost on land (barring Maturin obvs), and the ending sets up a DOOZY for Book 12.
Now onto INTO THE NARROWDARK by Tad Williams (Book 3 of The Last King of Osten Ard), as I have the 4th book on my Xmas list, so I figured I'm close enough to that books' release to finally start this one.
