It was very fun to read, and the humor, at times, reminded me of a Wax and Wayne sort of vibe. Looking forward to more works from the author. Rust dude you read fast. I'm still on bk 5 in the 100's. I'm really focusing on finishing Safehold 9 with Harvey though. Time to finish that series, it's taken well over a year of my time. Almost done... whats next? SLA reread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the extreme luxury of roughly 5 hours a night of paid reading time at work. I really enjoyed Midnight Tides. The Edur story was very well done. I'm starting Lies of Locke Lamora tonight. I've worked out SA to needing to start by October 7th to be done in time for Oathbringer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how it goes back and forth with the interludes. I've found young Locke's story to be the more interesting at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked out SA to needing to start by October 7th to be done in time for Oathbringer. I started practising detachment with imaginary characters after reading this book. The shock it gave me was too much ! Btw, the interludes are the best parts of the book. This is one of the books where the audiobook narration is to be preferred. Do consider it. It is on a Michael Kramer level (perhaps even higher). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 @Hood I may give that a try someday. I keep telling people that it doesn't work out for me to listen to them, but I haven't REALLY given it a fair turn at all. Plus this specific book keeps getting lots of audio praise. Does your name, by chance, reference Malazan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelEy3 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 @Hood Cool! I finished book 10 last week. Best finished book series I've ever read, or my personal favorite at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Lies is one of the best debut novels I have read. It's amazing. i have finally finished my year and change long trip of Safehold today. Big sigh of relief for me. I am now going to try and focus on Tigana for most of my day reading time(200 pgs left) and do Malazan 5 at night. i will read anything else that is set in Safehold but the odds of me ever reading anything else of Weber is extremely slim! He just needs an editor that will tell him to cut the bloating info dumps... he can certainly tell a fun story and boy can he write navy/army engagements but my goodness there are so so SO many needless 20+ pg long sections of boring drones it can be a challenge to finish the series for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aciilnt Stormblessed Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've just started reading The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. A lot of you seem to be talking about large fantasy series so I'm just going to warn you this isn't anything like that, it's a YA retelling of 1001 Arabian nights and is quite good so far. However, it annoys me how quickly the main character starts to fall in love with the Caliph. I knew she was going to eventually but I just don't understand her falling in love so quickly with this guy who killed tons of people,including her best friend,(though there's probably some "understandable" reason why he's doing this to be revealed later she doesn't know it yet.)and who she planned to kill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 My gosh I just finished the dark knight returns and the dark knight strikes again (by Frank Miller). Holy cow that was amazing. Freaking amazing. Dark, gritty, and TOTALLY awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm reading the Liveship Traders series, by Robin Hobb. I've read 2/3 of Farseer, and 2/3 of Soldier Son... I really like Hobb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 In the middle of Lesser Evils from the Brimstone Angels Forgotten Realms series. Also Les Mis, we'll see how long that one takes. I just finished the second of the Dresden Files, not sure if I'll get the 3rd yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Finished Tigana yesterday. That book was so stellar imo. I'm glad I decided to read that as my 1st GGK due to its controversy. If I liked it that much I ought to love his other books. picked up WoK but I think I'm going to set it back down or just skim 1&2. I doubt I can tackle those 2K pgs in the 72 days before OB hits. Plus I'm now free to continue Malazan reread without other books hindering my time. i did also dig out Dresden 1. sigh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHHHHHHHH I need it, but I've be been stupid lately and returned so many books late and now have lots of fines and can't check out books because of it. This is a travesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Put WoK down. To big a commitment and my memory is still good of 1&2 anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 @StrikerEZ That IS a travesty! Does your library have ebooks available for checkout through Overdrive? That's how I borrowed the copy I read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkum Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 finished WoR reread last night. will probably reread Edgedancer this afternoon, though I probably don't need a substantial refresher on that one before Oathbringer comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be able to check those out either because of the fines. I'll just use some of my leftover birthday money to pay the fines next time I can go to the library...which will be a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Almost done with WOA, just 8 chapters and the epilogue left. My mom is making me go to this boring edcamp thing tomorrow so if I don't finish tonight I'll definitely finish tomorrow and probably start on HOA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
