Chapter 13 - would someone who's read this please tell me this is going somewhere?

I'm bored. Close to Cumberbatch-Sherlock levels of bored.

#buddyread @Leniverse @Caroline2 @RaeLovesToRead

LeeRHarry Short answer: no not really. 2mo
julesG @LeeRHarry I thought so. Thanks 2mo
RaeLovesToRead I've read this before. I loved it. I'm re-reading so I can finish the trilogy. I remember Glotka being a great character. I also remember that it's not great as a standalone. 2mo

RaeLovesToRead HOWEVER. Jules, you and I have opposite taste in fantasy. I like things epic 😁 2mo
Caroline2 Yep. I‘m bored bored bored and giving it the side eye 😒 I may have to bail…. 2mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Cumberbatch Sherlock levels bored! Ouch! 2mo
julesG @RaeLovesToRead Yes, I know you like epic and I don't. I like Glotka, but not enough to read this phone-book-style fantasy. 😛 2mo
julesG @Caroline2 me too. I 2mo
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag yeah, i might not be in my dressing gown and shooting at the wall, but I'm not far off 2mo
Ruthiella Agree with @LeeRHarry and @RaeLovesToRead This book is mainly set up for the next book. I liked it, but it is a reading taste thing, for sure. 2mo
julesG @Ruthiella Thanks for the feedback. I'm giving it a few more chapters, but as soon as my mind wanders I'm out. 2mo
RaeLovesToRead PHONE BOOK STYLE FANTASY?!?!?! I'm telling on you to my fantasy nerd friends 😋😋😋 2mo
julesG @RaeLovesToRead I can see myself in the pillory being pelted with rotten tomatoes or phone books. 😲 2mo
RaeLovesToRead SHAME! SHAME! 🤣🤣 2mo

LeeRHarry Enjoy!☺️ 2mo
Caroline2 And of course it‘s a buddy read so I‘m struggling already!! 😂 it proper drops you in at the deep end at the beginning huh….? 2mo
julesG @Caroline2 I read the first 6 chapters then went on a review bender. Seems to be a "Yeah" a "Meh" or "Nope" - not a Marmite book though. Some reviews say it's more like a prologue to the next two books. Some reviews say it's more about the characters than plot... I'm kind of just going with it, but willing to bail if too bored. 2mo
julesG @Caroline2 I missed some explanation at the beginning. And there's no map. 2mo
Caroline2 Yeah I feel a bit “what‘s going on and why do I care” at the moment. But only first two chapters in. I‘ll give it another go tonight 👍 2mo

In September, I finally read the first in Abercrombie‘s much loved First Law series. I now understand the appeal; why readers raved. The characters are great and unlike some fantasy series (ahem) the entire trilogy is published! I‘m looking forward to continuing with the next book, hopefully in 2025. 🤞

thewallflower0707 Where did you get that cover version? 😊 3mo
Ruthiella @thewallflower0707 It‘s from Goodreads. It‘s the 2015 paperback/ Kindle reprint edition published by Orbit. 😊 3mo
Andrew65 I‘ve not read these yet. 3mo

Thank you for the tag @PageShifter 😊

This book has a lot of “main” characters. I‘ll pick Sand dan Glotka. In this book he‘s a former army officer turned Inquisitor after surviving torture and imprisonment. Makes my contracts and international trade administration job seem much easier… 😱

Pickpick

I loved this as much as the first in the series. The audio reader is outstanding and comes up with a perfect, unique style for each character. Themes include the consequences of self-serving or incompetant commanders calling the shots during war and what it means to be a "good person." Our main characters are scattered, all in some way dealing with various fronts of the raging war. Brutal, bloody, and sprinklered with wonderfully dark humor.
