Book 4 in the series and definitely better than book three. The characters were much better in this one and I felt the plot and development improved over the previous book. Not my favorite of the series but close. 3.5ish ⭐️

Murtagh: The World of Eragon | Christopher Paolini

pick

This was an amazing read.

I had always enjoyed, during my Dragon obsession years, watching dragons. This is my first book with a deeply dragon infused storyline and I absolutely loved it.

Thorn had me smitten🐉💖, and this world is incredible!

This is a quest story. Murtagh, half-brother of Eragon, follows a path of clues that lead him to a witch who he must outwit.

👇

AnnCrystal Yet it is also a journey of healing. Murtagh's and Thorn's connection is beautiful. The traumas they experienced in their past is tragic, and their individual healing journeys are sweet.

I've never read the the Eragon books, and I was worried about being able to understand the characters and overall story. This was wonderful because it gave the info needed to be able to read as a standalone. It does hint at more books.

AnnCrystal I will certainly never imagine a mushroom forest quite the same way again 😂🍄💝.

@Amiable
This was not 705 pages (I read about 601 pages). There's some back content before the bonus content of this deluxe edition. About 14 pages plus 90 pages I skipped (after Murtagh gets Thorn and himself captured by the witch). This is, therefore, more of a Bitsy Chunster than a Chuckster Patite for #ChunksterChallenge2025

Murtagh: The World of Eragon | Christopher Paolini

My current reads...

I've finished Murtagh, which I will review this weekend.

Just realized the book, To Shape A Dragon's Breath is 511 pages...a BitsyChunkster! It's the first book in its series.

The long awaited (for me to purchase) Bless Me, Ultima. A standalone novel.

The Third Book in the Riley Thorn mysteries.

The Sixth Book in the Old Kingdom series.

King: A Life | Jonathan Eig

pick

Excellent biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. that examines his full life: his beliefs, his actions, his insecurities and his failures. In other words —a portrait of a man who had his flaws like any other human, but who rose to greatness and met the moment when it mattered.

Corrupt | Penelope Douglas

pick

I normally zip through Douglas's books. In this one, I reached a point where I guessed what was going to happen and I couldn't finish. Therefore, I put the book down and picked it up again a couple of days ago. No surprises. Just as expected. The plot was good just predictable. 3.5🌟 #Read2025 @DieAReader At just over 500 pages this is one for #ChunksterChallenge2025 @Amiable #AllergicToChunksters @julieclair

Das achte Leben (F�r Brilka) | Nino Haratischwili

so-so

#OffMyShelf “Award Winning”
#ChunksterChallenge2025
#AllergictoChunksters

Longlisted for the 2020 International Booker, it also won two German awards per the back flap.

It took me two months to read this 1275 page monster. It‘s a multigenerational saga about a Georgian family from 1900 to 2007. Very melodramatic - I didn‘t particularly like it but appreciated the mental workout of reading in German. I read it w/ a friend & complained to her. 😂

wanderinglynn, Amiable, julieclair

Graywacke I read it in English and i can relate. She depends on well known historical happenings for shock value. But they don‘t have a lock of shock if we all already know about it. That weakens it a bit. 1mo

Ruthiella @Graywacke It would have been a stronger book for my taste if it had been edited down. That said, it sold well and many readers loved its emotion and expansiveness. (edited) 1mo

I cannot wait for this discussion. I have so many feelings, and I'm dying to hear what others thought. I was utterly baffled by both of the main mysteries. There was so much going on in this one!

Oathbringer Part Two: The Stormlight Archive Book Three | Brandon Sanderson

4½✨

Sanderson did it again.
This installment is much slower and less action packed than the previous two, but still ending on a high that leaves me wanting more.

Oathbringer Part One: The Stormlight Archive Book Three | Brandon Sanderson

pick

My edition of Oathbringer is split into two books, last night I finished part one.
I don't feel like reviewing only this part is fair as it's not even half the story... but so far it's a pick

This is my #DoubleSpin for March, hopefully I'll finish it in April @TheAromaofBooks
Also this is 1391 pages in total so #AllergicToChunksters @julieclair
