I‘ve made pretty good time through THE BRISTLING WOOD. I like the book itself just fine, but I‘ve come to realize I strongly dislike Rhodry, and Jill‘s devotion to him makes me think less of her into the bargain. That, together with how dull I found DARKSPELL, is gonna keep this series out of my permanent collection.
Thanksgiving turkey got postponed because my mum‘s not feeling well, but I still had a piece of my lemon sour cream pie. I made the frozen version this time, so the rest‘ll keep!
I‘m pleased to report I‘m 75 pages into THE BRISTLING WOOD and I‘m not bored! I mean, I‘m not super-duper hooked, but so far I like it way better than DARKSPELL. Hopefully it keeps up.
‘I‘ve met stranger fellows than you along the long road. Compared to some of them - why, you‘re perfectly ordinary.‘
Perryn. Perryn. This is not the compliment - or even hopeful sign - you think it is. Alastyr and Sarcyn set a VERY high bar for strange. As, I suppose - in a positive way - did Nevyn and the Elves.
I love Lovyan so much 😘
I‘ve had this cat for less than a month and I would literally take a bullet for her. She‘s also a lovely reading companion! 💞
After reading a book with dull characters and worldbuilding, I thought I‘d return to an author whose world I know I like!
