Nope, I don't think Eisenhorn is a very charismatic or likable character (at least to me), but I still enjoyed this third book about him. Maybe I just like his taste in women? Because I really liked those. The story itself is nothing new in the Warhammer universe and therefore perfect background noise. There were some scenes that really captured me, so it's a Pick.

The characters were well developed during Spanish Inquisition when Phillip wanted to erase the culture and lives of the Jews, the Moors, and the ones who believed differently. Families were turning on each other. Bardugo created a world where individuals committed treason by working miracles. How will they save themselves? I usually don't like HF/Fantasy hybrid. I think it's a mockery of a difficult time, but Bardugo HONORED those who died.

So, my #BookSpin is Hereticus, volume 3 of Eisenhorn's adventures. And my #DoubleSpin is a tragic story, because I wanted to order volume 8 of the Dune series, which you see displayed in this picture, but the German edition is out of stock. And no used copy far and wide. So what am I going to do about my bookshelf?! I'm in shock right now.

@TheAromaofBooks

PuddleJumper They'll release it with a cover that doesn't match your other ones and is like 2 inches taller 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Ack, that is the worst!!! 2mo
Jari-chan @PuddleJumper Right now I would be happy if there would be a new release. Even if I had to deal with the 2 inches... 😞 2mo
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks It is!! If I could get a secondhand copy, that would be perfect. But not even that is possible right now 😭 2mo

Hello! Looks like being indecisive about adding this to my library has paid off since it‘s half price at Dymocks right now!

A slow start, but ultimately worth it in my opinion. Very different from what I‘m used to, and look forward to what my book group thinks. Also, #doublespin and finished my February #wickedwords with candlestick.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo

This maybe an unpopular opinion; however, I just couldn't make myself finish. Bailing at 35% read. I didn't care about the MC and the plot didn't get my attention. The whole thing felt like a slog. #HailTheBail #Read2025 @DieAReader
I was reading for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville challenge and was excited since I enjoyed Bardugo's other books. On to better things!

TheSpineView @DieAReader Amen to better books! 4mo
Gissy I haven‘t post my review yet but I didn‘t like it. It was so different of Bardugo‘s previous novels, it was not like her writing style at all. 4mo
