I finished up Assassin’s Apprentice and started Royal Assassin today. I’m enjoying it so far. Wasn’t expecting book 2 to be so much longer than the first.

Just finished Company of Bones, the first in the Pendulum series by Brennan Morton. Damn… this one took me by surprise. Really solid, and I hope the remaining books live up to the start. It’s like a little more lighthearted Black Company.

Finished The Faith of Beasts, the second book in the Captive's War Trilogy, this past weekend. I hope the third book starts ramping up things, because while an interesting read, not a lot happens.
Started on Red Rising last night. I know next to nothing about his series. But it comes highly recommended here and other places. It was a busy weekend, and I was exhausted, so I only got through the first two chapters.

Same finished assassins apprentice. It was good not great like 3.5 out of 5. I’ll keep going just for how many people said do it but I’ll prob take a break after book 3.

Picked up the physical copy of Blacktongue Thief and maybe 100 pages in.
I listened to 4 hours of it on Spotify a few months ago and the author is the narrator and it is absolutely the most outrageous narration ever. He went with the most extreme fake Irish accent ever ad it was legit painful on the ears. Couldn't understand half of what he was saying. But really wanted to give this a go and I'm thoroughly enjoying the first 1/4 of it.

I was talking about the series in general but yeah, book 1 gets a hell of a lot more interesting after the first few chapters. I thought that each book was better than the last.

That seems to be the consensus. The author seems to get better with each book.

I'm hoping to like the series enough that I read all the released books back to back.
