I know this one isn't officially part of the #RealmOfElderlings read-a-long.
However, after discovering the Piebald Prince in Assassin's Quest and realizing there's a short story about him, I simply had to find out more.
As with everything I've read by Hobb this is a well tailored little tale of the first Witted Prince to take a short rule over the Six Duchies.

Also this picture is from the movie The Love Witch. I highly recommend watching it🖤
pickA cute cozy fantasy about a witch who works in a bookshop and who must undergo a month of heavy training to retake trials to retain her magic. It‘s got fun characters, some you love, some you love to hate. While not written with quite the same skill, if you like Sangu Mandanna‘s books, it‘s worth trying this one. Loved the audiobook narrator.

pick#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 ch.61-end/review: well, that‘s how you ramp up a book and get the readers excited for the next book. I felt like it was Boom Boom Boom - each of our characters had smth life altering happening in these final chapters. I‘d like to make special mention of Chaol finally choosing a side and then giving up his name and identity, just as Aelin acknowledges who she really is. That wasn‘t lost on us,SJM. ⬇️
pickGetting good! Recurring themes of SJM‘s: our hero is facing her enemy and heading for a bigger battle but can‘t do it until she confronts herself and defeats her own bullshit. Celaena is coming back to lots of changes, but she‘s gone through a lot of change herself. More witches please!
Thanks for the readalong @StayCurious
When I took the kids to the library the other day, this was the first book my eyes lit upon. I had just heard there was a GN but I didn‘t think id find it so quickly. I hope it will be a good way to share it with my youngest who has aphantasia. (Where you cannot imagine the words as pictures, so reading pretty much sucks.)
so-soI liked but didn‘t love this one. A cast of diverse characters set in a world of magicians and illusionists, this mystery also features secret rooms and stairs and misdirection. The story had a bit of repetition to it, but it sets up well for Tempest to continue solving mysteries. I love Grandpa Ash! I‘ll read the second one, eventually. #Zeke #CatsOfLitsy
Im also a REF fan. 36 novels later and I still love the world's of Midkemia and Kelewan, and now Garn. Read Magician when I was 16 in 1984.
My Broken Binding editions of The Riftwar Trilogy. Love them!
