Welcome to Litsy!

OK one last weekend non-review share. How often does this happen to you?

You find a pretty book that you want. You put it on your Amazon Book wishlist. Christmas is coming so you‘re shopping for others for a few months.

You return in January to get the book & it‘s SOLD OUT. Everywhere. 37 days prior it was $20 & now it‘s no where unless you have $200. 🤨

How do you find out if a book is going to be reprinted? I fear I‘m wasting my time. 😫

When you can‘t read your mentor note he left for you because there is too much blood. Just means it‘s an amazing book series that looks into the practicalities of life.

No caption needed.

Elene is most definitely Kylar‘s ‘Wonderwall‘ 💜❤️💚

Happy belated thanksgiving everyone!

I‘d read the first book, The Way of Shadows, before but this was my first time reading 2 & 3. Weeks makes it so easy to inhabit the world he‘s created—intriguing characters you care about, a plot full of twists & turns, a thin line between good/bad & a good dose of humor. Importantly, Weeks isn‘t so in love with his world that the books lose forward momentum—he even finishes them! If you‘re a fan of sprawling fantasy reads, this is a good one.

I got a lot of work done this morning and the afternoon has turned grey and rainy. What to do...what to do... I know! Tea, chocolate and a BIG book. Sometimes grey rainy afternoons are the best! 🌧📚🍵🌧

I actually am that quirky reader who will read the acknowledgements. Every time. I‘m not alone, am I? Anyone else read the acknowledgements?

As hinted at, I‘m going to slow down. This one—all 1189 pages of it—should take some time. Fair to say, long summer days were made for books like this. And can I just say this is a very cool cover?!?

The price of disobedience is death.

Absolutely breathtaking series of books. Read several chapters and you won't be able to set the books down. The best books I've read in a long time.

I finished "The Way of Shadows" the other night and I was mindblown! So pleased to have this omnibus edition so I can immediately start the next book, "Shadow's Edge".

Should I read this first or Abercrombie's first law trilogy?

I accidentally went to the bookstore.

I read Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy, Books 1 & 2 and found them to be brilliant. Very much along the lines of Robin Hobb with plenty of skullduggery and backstabbing going on in a typical fantasy world of horses and torches, will be reading book three as soon as it arrives. ~Shan

I absolutely love this series. Very dark and gritty fantasy. The main character Kylar is very likeable, always trying to do the right thing in a world where not much is right.
