I didn‘t find this one quite as immersive and difficult to put down as the first, but Wells is an incredibly gifted storyteller. There‘s plenty of action and deep history of the world Wells created. If the real world wasn‘t such a mess, I probably would have loved this more and finished it faster. Kudos to Wells for keeping me coming back.

Alluring cover. Intriguing world-building. Quirky gargoyle sidekick. Sweet budding romance. Devastating villainy. I‘m in for Book 2.

This is really fun so far (187/619). The characters are intriguing and the plot is propulsive. My only complaint is that the world building is lazy: Caten is Rome behind the thinnest of veils.

Just when you think things in the tower can‘t get any worse, more bad things happen. I really feel like I need some maps and charts on my wall now that I have so much of the Cosmere in my head.

Meshell1313 Ok how excited was I when Chiri chiri popped up! You really found the perfect reading order! 🫶🙌 Also is Taravangian a hero or villain?!?!?! I can‘t decide!!! I‘m loving these tower scenes and poor Kaladin stuck in there trying to save everyone as per usual! 4d
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I can‘t decide either. He seems a bit of a hero, doesn‘t he? I fully expect Kal to save everything. I just don‘t know how yet. lol 3d

I'm slowly making my way through a re-read of the Essalieyan books, this time on audiobook and have reached The Riven Shield. It's hard to review the individual parts of the Sun Sword, as they are all part of the greater whole. Would I recommend them, yes, if you like epic fantasy, but start at the beginning!

People loved this trilogy, and the world building is excellent. However, it didn't quite work for me. I was often bored, and wound up skipping ahead. But I did like the ending.

This was a nice return to the Legends and Lattes series. What I liked most in 'Brigands and Breadknives' is the comradery of the characters. The novel focuses on the foul-mouthed rattikin, Fern. She falls into an adventure with the elven legend Asteryx and the goblin Zyll. These three are aided by the sword Nigel and the This novel is a fun cosy fantasy that will brighten your day. All voices are done very well by the author himself. 4.5 stars

I know a lot of people don't like this series because it's not a Murderbot clone but I really enjoy my time in this world with these characters. Once again this is a dual timeline narrative and both were compelling looks at Kai and the gang. There was a sense of closure for the narrative arcs but still left room for the story to grow.

peanutnine I can't wait to read this! But I need to reread Witch King first to refresh my memory 4d
