The Innocent Mage: Kingmaker, Kingbreaker | 
Enjoying this. It‘s not action packed but more about governance. Asher is the 7th and youngest son of a fisherman who doesn‘t get much cut of the family earnings so he‘s off to the capital of Lur for a year to make his fortune for himself and his dad. We get different POVs, not just Asher‘s. He‘s an Olken but the ruling human race is Doranen; they have magic & came to Lur centuries ago creating a magical Wall to hold back the terrors they fled
An epic fantasy novel steeped in magic and myth. Really loved it.

I feel like a higher rating for this one hinges entirely on how the 2nd book turns out, so for now it sits at the middle rating. Not bad, not great. It‘s definitely setting the groundwork for what could turn out to be a really good story. It‘s 95% world building and fleshing out characters and their relationships, so hopefully the next installment hits the ground running.
This was one of my #Roll100 picks in May.
This is a good book…reminds me of Star Trek next generation. It has great drama but not a lot of action. Still good but it has taken me a long time to get through this.
so-soThis really could have benefited from being cut down from its 600 page mark. Nothing exciting happens until the last 20% of the book. Everything else was just stretched out politics and mindless squabbles between the characters. Oh and of course some random unnecessary romance. The cliffhanger though was shocking.
so-soFairly standard fantasy - those covers drew me in though... 😬
So, turns out I've read this book before, and now own two copies of it. I remember it being an okay book. I ended up reading a different book.
This is my new current read. Hope this is as good as I think it will be.
Next up on my "Read all the Unread Books on my Shelves before Buying Any New Books (excepting preorders)" initiative! Kameron Hurley says that Karen Miller might be grittier than her, so I'm excited!! #planereads ✈️
