Finished reading TOWER LORD by Anthony Ryan (Raven's Shadow book 2) it took me a lot longer to get into and almost considered writing at one point though I can't think of any good reason why. Just didn't resonate with me in the same way. However, I persevered.

And I am so freaking glad I did! Excited for the third one now.

[Morgoth]

The Return of Fitzroy Angursell by Victoria Goddard, the sequel to forum favourite Hands of the Emperor. It is so pleasant to read something that's not all dark and grey and squirting its grimdarkness all over your face. This book is warm and happy and full of enthusiasm, and I am enjoying it immensely.

I read this last week, along with petty treasons the novella prequel. Both were pleasant but not quite as good as Hands of the Emperor. It was very nice to read something cheerful though!

Finished up my Empire trilo reread on holidays

Apparently one of the characters in this has a separate series consisting of 5 books (6th releasing in December). Series is Greenwing and Dart. I put the first few on hold at my library. Here’s hoping for more of the same stuff.

Finished listening to The Wisdom of Crowds---plot became really riveting, prose became slightly more impressive towards the end. Dialogue overall was pretty good, character development mostly good.

Started listening to The Empire's Ruin---three different performers, which is an odd odd number---so far one performer per PoV, haven't gotten to the third PoV yet. Think it's been dwelling on each PoV for longer than the previous novels, not sure. Started with one of the aspects of the world I find most boring, but it managed to become somewhat moving before too many chapters, and now the plot has really piqued my interest. New aspects of the world to be revealed.

[Tiste Simeon]

So after taking a "Scrubs Podcast" break from Audiobooks I'm back! I am listening to THE NAME OF THE WIND by Patrick Rothfuss. The narrator has a great and slightly creepy voice and I'm liking it so far (not very far in but I'm guessing the innkeeper - Coat? - is actually the hero (Kvothe? I've seen that name bandied about)

[Macros]

the real hero is the DRAGONCOW

Really enjoying scalzi’s old man’s war series. Good scifi.

I very enjoyed it, minus Zoe's Tale which was very much a YA tale fit into the same universe. It is part of the larger story, but summed up in the following book if you don't care for it.

It's a decent enough series, it just looks like it will just never be finished.

[Aptorian]

Aye, I really liked the first book but I am not going to read the second book before he finished the series. I abhor unfinished stories or writers with a glacial publication history.

[Morgoth]

The second book was frustratingly mediocre anyways, a massive drop in quality from the first, and packed full of teenage wish fulfilment cliches.

[Tiste Simeon]

Thing is I had tons of Audible credits at one point and thought I might like the series so I got both of them. Then I discovered he's possibly never going to finish it so didn't bother starting. Then I wanted the credits back thinking I'll never listen to it but found out the policy for returns now means they won't return it after 1 year of having it. So I'm stuck with it and thought I might as well listen to see what the fuss was about and I'm enjoying it thus far.

This x100

I got off the bandwagon after book 2 was like:

Spoiler

some weird elf succubus sex dream for Kvothe...for like half the book.

And I probably won't get back on even if he finishes it to be frank.

[Macros]

Wait, wish fulfillment?
