Guards! Guards! | Terry Pratchett

so-so

I can finally say that I didn't love it, but I really enjoyed the world-building and the social commentary, even if it's more Brit-centric. It's early enough that maybe in a few books I will start having a fav character, and early enough that I still would like to finish the whole Watch arc. I can absolutely see why Pratchett is such a beloved author, even if his novels are not 100% for me

Doppoetry The world-building is very whimsical but surprisingly deep. The humor didn't really land for me (very similar to Monty Python), but the deeper commentary really resonated with me; there are some deep philosophical ideas present, and they are presented in a very approachable way. 1d

Doppoetry Thought about it more overnight, but there was a sort of “will they won't they“ relationship that I'm not sure if it was meant to make fun of the romance trope in the genre or an actual attempt at romance blooming between the characters. I didn't care for it. 20h

The Firethorn Crown: Firethorn Chronicles Book 1 | Lea Doue

bailed

DNF- Yes, there is suppose to be a lot of characters in this as the twelve dancing sister retelling. However, I was overwhelmed and lost with them all present the 38% of the book I read. I found myself asking who was talking… then the Gooseboy too? Maybe it ends up really good, but I was too lost to want to navigate through it especially with not being a stand alone.

Assassin's Quest (the Illustrated Edition): The Illustrated Edition | Robin Hobb

pick

These books are never what I expect, but it always blows my mind.
A very satisfying end to a very heart-rending journey.

Hob weaves true magic with her writing. Her poetic, imaginative prose takes you places you've never dreamt of; contiplating situation you'll never face, but truly do though her stories

Enchanted_Bibliophile Going into a darker, more introspective character study with this book makes it much slower than the previous two (which were already slow) so perseverance is the name of the game. Don't try to rush, stick with it I promise you'll be glad you did. Even if it test your tolerance for grimness beyond what you think you can handle. 2d

Enchanted_Bibliophile The complexity of the character bonds is what really pulled it off for me. Nighteyes, Fool I'm looking at you.
The prolonged revenge quest got a bit much for me, but the character development I got out of it was so worth it. Understanding where Fitz came from - his physical and psychological suffering - made me understand his need for revenge.
2d

Enchanted_Bibliophile How he revenged himself in the end, O Man!
It shows just how much he's learnt and grown and it was just spectacular.

I'm gonna miss these characters, they've become a part of my heart. 2d

BookmarkTavern A small group of individuals believing they‘ve been deprived of what‘s rightfully due them decide to put a puppet leader in charge to control, only to end up with a narcissistic, greedy, destructive force intent on sowing fear and chaos around him? Gee, I wonder how relevant that story could be? 😅😅 I can‘t believe this was written over thirty years ago. 5d

willaful @BookmarkTavern I know, Terry Pratchett wouldn't be surprised by anything.

I think I enjoyed this more than I remember doing so when I first read it. It was fun to see the Watch becoming a real force for good. 5d

julesG @BookmarkTavern 🤣🤣🤣 he nailed it. 5d

julesG @willaful I agree, I enjoyed it a lot more this time. Maybe because I'm older/wiser and have seen a few things happening. 5d

BarbaraJean This is my first time reading the Watch novels! Having seen Vimes (and the Watch) now in other novels, I was surprised to find him in the gutter at the beginning here! It was so fascinating to see the origins of characters I‘d enjoyed later glimpses of elsewhere. @BookmarkTavern 😂😂😭 5d

AlaMich The audio version of this has been so delightful!! It‘s adding considerably to my enjoyment. 5d

julesG @AlaMich Which version did you listen to? Stephen Briggs, Tony Robinson, or Jon Culshaw with Peter Serafinowicz and Bill Nighy? 5d

AlaMich @julesG The last one. I didn‘t realize there were three audio versions. 5d

BookmarkTavern @BarbaraJean Vimes‘s character arc is one of my all time favorites. 5d

julesG @AlaMich that's the one I haven't listened to yet. Stephen Briggs' narration is the 'original' one. The one with Culshaw is relatively new. 5d

AlaMich @julesG He‘s so good! 4d

The Priory of the Orange Tree | Samantha Shannon

bailed

I was expecting to love this book but 200 pages in and I was just honestly bored. The writing was lovely, but it felt lovely in a way that I was kept at a distance. I didn't feel anything for the characters. With so many other books that I'm looking forward to, I've learned to DNF as an act of self-care 🤣 Love that so many do adore it tho.

TheSpineView I felt the same about this book too. 6d

dabbe YES! #hailthebail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 6d
