Finishing up The Strength of the Few, I still think it is too grim for me to really enjoy it, but it is a well written and interesting book.

Deep in a Book hangover I can't escape. I've tried no less than 7 books in the last week or so and fell off all of them.

No idea what I could try to get out of this.

Pick up a favorite you haven't read in while, that isn't too heavy, something comfortably familiar. My go to is Lord of Light.

This may be what I end up doing, thanks man.

I'm enjoying the heck out of Kingfisher's THE CLOCKTAUR WARS, if that's an option.

I've read them. They are great.

All good... let me suggest THE LEGEND OF ELI MONPRESS then. Similar whimsical tone, caper elements, fast pace, easy to get into, light but not fluffy, as it were.

Read Notorious Sorcerer. With a title like that how can you not? Great book too.


Pretty much exactly fits the description Abyss used for Eli Montpress tbh, very much seems in the same vein. The whole series is one of my favourite new reads of the last couple years or so.

eta: I feel like I should challenge Abyss to a recommendation swap now. I read Eli Monpress and he reads Notorious Sorcerer. En guard!
