📚Currently reading:

🎧Lud in the Mist
🎧Rise of the King

Progress:
Glad I got back to the Drizzt novels, maybe I can finally catch up by next year. Been making slow but steady progress with Lud in the Mist. I am really loving it. I might pick another short audiobook between those two, but we shall see.

Night of the Hunter: Companions Codex, I | R.A. Salvatore

so-so

I was finally in the mood to start these again. I think at this point I've made peace with the fact that I only really read these for the B plot with the dark elves, and to see what my favorite assassin is up to and his character development through the series. if it were not for those things I would not bother with this series at all. When Salvator wants to be good, he is SO good, but most of these books feel like mediocre shlock.

Doppoetry I'm beginning to think that Salvatore does not keep any notes because MC is going back and forth between subjects that I thought he already went through “This guy is my friend“ in one book “this guy is my Enemy“ in a different book “this guy is okay, actually but I still hate him but I like him but I hate him“ on a loop. It drives me crazy every time.

Doppoetry MC's asides between chapters are also hypocritical at best while trying to be deep but failing. The writing is so juvenile and pretentious.

Doppoetry onto the next book. 4d

Did my group save Elturel? No. They joined Zariel, allowed her to destroy Elturel and Baldur‘s Gate and set up a hellhound puppy training school in Avernus

Game Wizards: The Epic Battle for Dungeons & Dragons | Jon Peterson

so-so

D&D truly changed the world of strategy and RPG games. Unfortunately, the tale behind its creation was not as exciting as it had been billed to me. I felt this book was a textbook-like retelling of facts to include annual sales numbers. The game‘s very slow build from mocked fantasy game to cultural icon is interesting. Overall though I just felt like something was missing…like any type of connection to the creators.

JoeMo There seems to be a market out there for this story , as I noted at least three recently published books about the creation of D&D. Maybe this is the kind of book and subject that fans of the game are ravenous about…and folks like me who have never played it….not so much 🤷‍♂️ 2mo

“He was a thief after all.”

Now I want to go watch the movie again!!! Fun book and added to the movie. Less about the characters though they were likable and more about the journey. D&D-like so it fits and I‘d read more! Good narration.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4

I binged TAZ this past winter. I love that I can relive the series in graphic novels! The illustrations are cute and colorful and NOT traditional DnD (if that‘s your bag, cool no hate) just like TAZ.

BookmarkTavern I love this series! 💖 4mo
