Warbreaker is up next in our #CosmereBuddyRead. I have split it into four parts. Each section will be about 160 pages per week. I‘m really enjoying doing this with other Littens. This one is a standalone, if anyone would like to jump in and join us, we would love to have you.

I loved Garth Nix‘s Sabriel and the other Old Kingdom books, so naturally I had to try this series. It‘s fun to see my own adolescence reflected in the setting and I generally liked the characters (though Merlin did irk me quite a bit). The last third or so goes at a breakneck pace and I wish he had slowed down a bit, but I‘m invested enough to try the next book(s) in the series.

1. Yep!

After being informed of the mysterious deaths of her parents in Egypt, Inez finds she has inherited a fortune & a mystery. She travels to Egypt to find out what happened to her parents.

So disappointing. I was excited by “The Mummy meets Death on the Nile” & instead got weird pacing issues, inconsistent characters, & a romance I was actively rooting against by the end. Would have been a so-so, but the epilogue pissed me off too much. 🌕🌗🌑🌑🌑

Book 15 of 2025! So good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started reading this and Dragonlance and they are sooo good!!😊 Wonder which one I‘ll finish first?

3✨ This has to be my least favorite so far. It had gripping action, and continued where the previous book left off. There was nothing wrong with it minus me not being as engaged or invested. Still I am excited to see what happens next with two books left in this series. #SeriesLove
