March 2025 Book #5
I own like three special editions of this book because they are beautiful and I thought I would love this book. This book has mixed reviews. I‘m in the side of very disappointed team. The writing style is so different of what I use to read by this author, it was like someone else wrote it. The premise is so interesting but I found it extremely boring. Maybe because I was expecting action, intrigue, I don‘t know something else⬇️

I‘m not entirely sure how I feel about this book. Excellently written and absorbing, but uneasy, with a chord of dissonance running through it. Sort of a happy ending, but I almost feel the book would have been stronger if it had gone another way. I did like the not-quite-magic system, and Santangel is a wonderful tortured soul. A strong focus on the hypocrisy of state religion felt appropriate to current times. A good read, uneasiness included.

September #Bookspin #Doublespin list!

This just became available on Libby and it's been in the tbr, so I guess it's my new read!

Nope, I don't think Eisenhorn is a very charismatic or likable character (at least to me), but I still enjoyed this third book about him. Maybe I just like his taste in women? Because I really liked those. The story itself is nothing new in the Warhammer universe and therefore perfect background noise. There were some scenes that really captured me, so it's a Pick.

The characters were well developed during Spanish Inquisition when Phillip wanted to erase the culture and lives of the Jews, the Moors, and the ones who believed differently. Families were turning on each other. Bardugo created a world where individuals committed treason by working miracles. How will they save themselves? I usually don't like HF/Fantasy hybrid. I think it's a mockery of a difficult time, but Bardugo HONORED those who died.

So, my #BookSpin is Hereticus, volume 3 of Eisenhorn's adventures. And my #DoubleSpin is a tragic story, because I wanted to order volume 8 of the Dune series, which you see displayed in this picture, but the German edition is out of stock. And no used copy far and wide. So what am I going to do about my bookshelf?! I'm in shock right now.
