The Stone in the Skull | 
Mixed emotions. There was a lot of it I didn't understand. I need to read the first trilogy Range of Ghosts. Seems to be set in the same universe and perhaps that will explain some things for me, like why is he 'A Dead Man' and what does that mean?
Anyway, very nicely written with a slow but good plot. Slower for me because of so much pondering on what the heck is happening now and what the heck is the Godmade.

so-soI saw RED-STAINED WINGS on the new book shelf and always up for a trilogy, I grabbed STONE ON THE SKULL.
An interesting story, although I could have used a cast list to keep the early chapters straight. Of course, I haven‘t read the earlier trilogy, so that may be my fault.
Although not ranking as a pick, I am reading the next in the series so it captured my interest 👀
Here's Gus modeling the newest #newrelease I've bought. Not particularly new, but the paperback came out Apr 2019. I'm looking forward to reading this... whenever I get to it lol #tbrproblems

so-soI‘m giving this a 3.5 star rating. Out of the 4 books I have read back to back by Bear this was the least Boring but still had it moments where she over described everything. The characters are more likable (expect for the drug addicted queen) and the love story once again was way too quickly brought on. Overall it was decent. I‘m glad to be taking a break from Bear‘s work though now. I have till May to decide if I wish to continue.
So I completed The Enteral Sky trilogy by Elizabeth Bear JUST, so I could read The Stone in the Skull because that was the book that originally caught my eye. This book is part of a sequel that comes after that Trilogy. So once again here I am reading Bears work, so far I have to say this story is starting it out much more interesting and I‘m actually wanting to read it, so let‘s see what happens. This is an updated Map of the world she created.
pickAudible, who has not yet learned any better, offers me two free audiobooks every 6 months or so to try out their service. I always take the free books and cancel! This time I got Elizabeth Bear‘s The Stone in the Skull since my local library doesn‘t have it. I started listening today and I am so enjoying it. There‘s an automaton carrying a vital message, a dragon attack, and an omen of blood and death all in the first two hours!
Since a lot of people seem to be fans of Haku, here's a pic from when he was just 2 months old! 😊💕
p.s. has anyone read this book yet?
