AgentComa don’t read this and then for both of the next two books to make you forget how good that one is because they’re somehow even better
the feels when a certain character no longer exists at the end of this book isn't even the most heart-wrenching part of this entire trilogy yeah, don't read the tags lol
Let us know what you think if you do read it. Might actually start it again myself and connect the dots.
@Deanna I finished The Word Is Murder last night and loved it! The execution was brilliant and the ending was super cool. Thoroughly enjoyed it more than Magpie Murders. Looking forward to listening to the Audiobook when my hold comes in at the library. Anthony Horowitz is becoming one of my favorite authors of mystery/adult fiction
Nice! I still have to read Magpie Murders, but I know the formatting for that one is a bit different.
It very much is and for me I would've liked it broken up a bit more. I really liked how this one was chronological and real-time throughout
Has anyone read Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio? Thinking picking it up. Looks to be a complete blend of fantasy and science fiction .
Nope never heard of it. Pop back into the Fantasy book thread after you finish though and let us know how it is Book - The Fantasy Books Thread
Of course there's a FANTASY book thread. I'm sure I've actually posted in it too. Oh well, I'll hit you up when I've read it!
Nice. I see a little bit of fantasy throw in here. I'm a big ole fantasy geek at the minute (late to the game but tearing through series). Right now I'm on book 2 of the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. I thought the 1st one was okay but not great, but good enough to keep going. I will have to jump over to the fantasy book thread as that's really the only genre I've been reading over the past few years. So many fantastic series to go through, some of them monsters and tough at times to get through (cough, wheel of time, cough). My favorite series so far, and author in general, is Realm of the Elderings. I absolutely love everything about Robin Hobbs approach to writing from plot, to pacing to characters. I have read Farseer, Liveship and the 1st book in the Tawny man trilogy.
I also just finished 8 and am about to start all over again. The world is too big that not only is the pacing slowing down, but there are too many characters, places and things going on that I have little emotional investment anymore. I want to start again and hopefully pick up on a lot that I've missed and remember things a little bit better at this point. 7 & 8 were definitely meh and I think I might go as far as saying that 8 was actually just bad. I remember 7 having some moments that I enjoyed but I think 8 was pretty much a slog from start to finish. I had to quote you Pooch as I thought 4, 5 and 6 were absolutely brilliant but I did read them while I was somewhat new to the genre. I am curious if on my reread I find them as enthralling now that I've read a little more. I am hoping so as I really want to get to the end of the series but there are so many books to read that I can't see continuing without a reread as I'm not getting maximum enjoyment out of them.
I’m impressed at people being able to keep up ge WoT books apart from each other. I’d only be able to vaguely divide the whole story into a couple of segments, haha.
Currently reading Ellen Raskin and Encyclopedia Brown while I wait on some books to come in at the library
If anyone has been wanting to try some Neal Stephenson now might be a good time to try Snow Crash, $2 on Kindle https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBJCJE/?tag=absolutepunk-20
I'm currently finished Oathbringer and I'm looking for something non-fantasy. I have spent the last few years reading fantasy and i'm feeling overburdened by them. I'm looking for some sort of pick-me-up or horror or really just a list of recommendations that I can look at and pick a few!
I posted this a few days ago. Maybe you have seen it before though. I cut out the fantasy stuff. I also recommend both of Eddie Huang’s books.
