Reading my first Joe Abercrombie "The Devils". Quite a fun read so far. Would make a good mini-series.
I keep seeing Anya Taylor-Joy as Sunny and Steven Lang as Jakob. Maybe Diego Luna as Diaz.


Easily front runner for my favorite read of the year. It's just such a great fun book that hits every note i generally look for... great engaging characters, fast pace, excellent action, interesting magic, evil villains, sticks the ending.

I finally decided (after years of it sitting on my digital ToReadPile) to give RED RISING a chance...


Finished on Sunday night. Fastest I've read a book in like 2 years...safe to say I not only liked it, I'm IN.
...
So yeah, thanks again all. I loved this book and I can't wait to continue the series. I'm grabbing GOLDEN SON from the library tonight on my way home and starting it immediately.


Welcome to the party my goodman. It is a frikkin ride.

Evil villains? Thought that was one of your main objections to The Priory of the Orange Tree?

One section of A Day of Fallen Night tries to reframe them as embodiments of "chaos" rather than "evil"---though If they were truly chaos incarnate, they wouldn't conform so consistently to our common conceptions of "evil".

Granted the old "Tiamat = archetypal chaos" is maybe a bit too redolent of Jung, Campbell, and Jordan Peterson (guess the next name in that devolving sequence might as well be... IDK, Nick Fuentes?) for my taste...
