    Worry, have you read Tender is the Flesh? I feel like it's something you'd appreciate. I will not use the word "enjoy" because it's definitely not the right word for that particular novel, but I think it's something that you would get a lot out of.


    It also appears to be on sale right now.

    3) "The Priory of the Orange Tree"- Because I haven't dug into a big-ass doorstopper series in a while, and y'all seem to be pretty positive about this one.


    Just speaking for me'all, meh.


    Unfortunately I have to agree with Abyss here. It's not that it was a bad book per se, I just didn't think it was great. A perfectly average 2.5/5.

    I think you'll end up liking this overall. It's pretty much the Arthurian Myth as told by Uhtred.

    Into part 3 of THE WINTER KING
    Spoiler



    Believe it or not, he actually gets worse before the end of the trilogy...


    Considering how the character's traditional story plays out, yeah, I believe it. He's always been an asshole.

    I really appreciate how Cornwell has done such an excellent job at shifting each of the core characters in ways that fits his narrative but still really rings true to their traditional archetype with Galahad, Lancelot, and Merlin in particular standing out.

    I've realized I've been lurking again so I've got a decently sized update this time.

    I finished THE WINTER KING today. One of the easiest 5* ratings I've dropped in awhile. Two minor criticisms:
    Spoiler


    I also finished off my ded-tree read of GORMENGHAST (book, not series. TITUS ALONE can wait). I've loved both books in this series though the pacing in this second novel felt off and I think it's due to an unnecessary storyline involving a side character that adds about a hundred pages that weren't really needed.

    Next up in audio is Reynold's ELYSIUM FIRE. This is the second Prefect Dreyfus novel which is a prequel trilogy to REVELATION SPACE set in the Glitter Band before the melding plague turns it into The Rust Band. I think I actually like these more than Rev Space.

    As far as paper goes, I think I'm still in the mood for more manly men doing manly things ala Cornwell so I think it's time for a reread of LEGEND by Gemmell. I know how much you all hate that book and know how disappointed you'll be.
