“Other men might dream of high honors or riches or deeds of valor sung by minstrels. I wanted to come to a small cot as light faded, to sit in a chair by a fire, my back aching from work, my hands rough with toil, and hold a little girl in my lap while a woman who loved me told me of her day. Of all the things I had ever had to give up simply by virtue of the blood I carried, that was the dearest.”

I really enjoyed Warbreaker! The two sisters from Idris were super fun characters. I read on the Wikipedia page that Nightblood, not strictly a sequel, but set in the same universe isn‘t due until 2031 🙃

I did not like this book. It was very simplistic in it's interpretation of institutional sexism, racism, colonialism, cultural genocide, and religious brainwashing.

All of the characters were one dimensional, there was hardly any worldbuilding outside the dense magical info dumping, and it was very predictable.

“I could hear the faint sounds of the merrymaking. Closer to hand were the now-unfamiliar creakings and settling of a building, the sounds of folk moving in other rooms of the inn. They made me nervous, as the wind through the branches of a forest, or the gurgling of the river close by my sleeping spot, had not. I feared my own kind more than anything the natural world could ever threaten me with.”

“…the companionship of a beast…to know that the friendship of an animal is every bit as rich and complicated as that of a man or woman.”

This may just be a DNFFN -it seems a bit needlessly complicated, but it might be good. there‘s footnotes each page, weird POV changes (POVs given by a dragon that ate the person?) I‘m just not mentally prepared for something this complicated

Book 2 in this trilogy only made me cry once (versus 3 times with book 1 😭). This series already has me in a chokehold. I felt myself completely immersed in this world and so worried for the characters. I really hate the antagonist and I can‘t wait to see the MC go head to head with him. It ended on a cliffhanger, so off to start book 3!
