pickAlthough I did not finish reading the adventure, I do like how it‘s structured: there are ways to start it at different levels (in case you have existing characters to play it with) and the players can choose one of four giants to tackle at one point, with each giant having different challenges and side quests.
(Not sure how to attach a photo in Canva) but for my next #Book20 read I got a nat20. That means my next book is Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I didn't expect to be jumping back into horror but I'm sure it will still be refreshing.

Overall a slow week reading, even if I stayed on track for daily readings. I finished The Martian! That was pretty great. I started another Silvia Moreno-Garcia novel and am already loving it.
I can't wait for my hand to heal so I can read in bed again.

I had a pretty bad week reading and in general, but I hope next week will go better. I intend to finish ACoK by tomorrow and pick TGE back up and have a good chunk of it read during the week, on top of LotN.

Been making steady progress on all three this week, some days better than others. Will continue to do the same next week.
Read a bit of this again today and as much as I'm enjoying this novel, I am waiting for a specific character to show up and he still hasn't shown up yet.
so-so(1991) A vampire elf confronts another vampire over his lost love. Purpose is really to establish the character of Strahd von Zarovich for the Ravenloft role-playing world. I probably would have enjoyed this a lot more thirty years ago; at this age it just seems by-the-numbers and uninspired. But I'm glad that I finally got around to it cause now I know. This is my #TripleSpin for April, just under the wire.
so-soThis was the author's first book and it was written in the nineties. Having said that....
What I Liked
*Dark atmosphere;
*Strahd's brother Sergey and damsel Tatyana; and
*Ravenloft itself, the best gothic fantasy world out there.
What I Didn't Like
*Inconsequential supporting characters;
*Little to no character development;
*NO TENSION, the greatest sin;
*Jander, a too emo vampire main character 🙄
