The Fantasy/Sci-Fi Books Thread Book • Page 136

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue is one of my favorite books ever. About a girl who is immortal but who can't be remembered by anyone.

That or the Shades of Magic series which is about a power struggle between parallel worlds (from what I can remember, it was the series that got me into fantasy besides Game of Thrones). Then there's Vicious which is about near death experiences giving people powers in the modern day.

 

I'm not sure if she's read any of Schwab's other books, but I know my wife absolutely loved The Invisible Life of Addie Larue

 

I've only read A Darker Shade of Magic and Vicious and both were okay.

 

Addie Larue is a rip your heart out and put it back in book. In my top ten of all time, it's definitely the way to go if you're interested in reading her.

 

I think I'm giving up on Gideon The Ninth. I've been trying to get into it for 3 weeks, and half the time I zone out and the other half I'm just annoyed at the writing

Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't doing the audiobook

Usual problem with Instagram embeds probably, but: cover reveal for my next book, and ARC signups are open. Would be delighted if anybody in here wanted to check it out.

 

I can't remember if I've posted in this thread before or not lol, but I picked up Endymion and Fall Of today. the latter was discounted too because of some very minor scuffing on the back which was nice for my broke ass. definitely probably gonna finally start reading Hyperion now just as soon as I finish The Dark Tower

 

That first Hyperion book is so good.

 

Damn my two most anticipated books this year. I just finished Babel and i absolutely adored everything about it.

 

I could tell Katabasis would be one of my favorite books of the year by the 2nd page. Put time on your calendar for this one. Babel may be my favorite book ever so this seems like it will be up your alley.

My friend recently started an online bookstore and I'm helping her by reading and reviewing certain books so I'm very lucky to be reading any of these early.

Bury Our Bones is very Addie Larue but darker, I really dug it but it's not quite Addie level for me.

 

I'm sure you're aware, but not long till the Apple series drops. Sometime in May. I only read the first Murderbot book and I have no idea how you make it a show considering so much is internal, but I'm also intrigued.

 

Well I’m 50% through Wind and Truth. Enjoying it so far.
