I like Rollins' action adventure series and I've liked other fantasy series in the past ( i.e. LOTR, long before the movies 😉) but I'm struggling with this.
pickThis is honestly not something I would normally read but my friend who works at the local bookstore put it in my hand and said trust me. All righty then. I admit I did set it a side a few times to read books I‘d preordered not because it wasn‘t good. This is a dark fantasy built around the premise the earth has stopped spinning. Yeah that. Great characters and storyline. And my friend, Chris didn‘t lead me astray! #readingchallenge2022
Miss me? I‘m going to try to post more. This is my current read.

pick🎧 I‘ve only read Sigma Force so this was a surprise.
Can I call it a dark fantasy? The Earth has stopped spinning in a way that one half is always light, the other dark. The remains of humanity live in a reality that‘s harsh & unforgiving.

pickRollins foray into fantasy is a success—he deftly weaves 4 POVs into a compelling story that left me wanting to know what happens next. A thief, a prince, a knight, a novice and another (can‘t be specific to avoid spoilers) all have a role to play as a world inches ever closer to war. Our relationship to nature/wildlife plays an interesting role in the story. If you enjoy fantasy, this is one to check out. On sale 1/22.
Such a busy week I haven‘t had much time to read much less post anything on Litsy. That changes now as I settle in for the weekend with a 500+ page fantasy from Rollins (most well known for writing thrillers). I‘ve seen this book on a number of “most anticipated” lists for 2022 and a few chapters in, I can see why. It definitely has my attention!
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 349.

pickI‘ve been a fan of Rollins‘ writing for a long time and this action-packed re-entry to epic fantasy makes for a truly wonderful #audiobook experience! The characters all come to life and the magical creatures and twisting plot is breathlessly exciting! I loved Nyx - and all of her adopted brothers! I cried- there are some brutal surprises- but I also can‘t wait for the next installment! A great start to a new series! #AudioColoring
