Jag lyssnade på podcasten Kvinnliga krigare av Stefan Högberg för ett par år sedan, så det var inte mycket nytt. Men, det är en intressant liten bok.

”If you can, dear friends, do not live through a siege.”

This book is creepy, scary, upsetting, compelling and so, so good - but not for the faint of heart.

I read Gardens of the Moon and Deadhouse Gates around 2006. I can't for the life of me remember if I also read Memories of Ice back then, but the book looked entirely untouched when I grabbed it from the shelf, so I guess not.

I am definitely going to continue the series.

Very readble prose, but I was never really engaged by neither the characters nor the plot.

”Destiny is a lie. Destiny is justification for atrocity. It is the means by which murderers armour themselves against reprimand. It is a word intended to stand in place of ethics, denying all moral context”

I had heard that this book would go to a different place than the first four, so I was prepared for that, though I wasn't sure I would like it. I did like it quite a lot. We met Trull Sengar in the last book, and I wasn't that interested in him. But this book does deepen his character and I now find him quite compelling.

Other interesting characters were Udinaas, Seren Pedac, Iron Bars and Corlo. My favourite characters this time around though were probably Brys Beddict, and especially Tehol Beddict and Bugg.

Revisited a childhood favourite. I never fell in love with Anne of Green Gables, but I read this several times.

This is the only Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser story I've read. It's probably been about 15 years since I read it. I did not audiobook it, it was a part of a short story anthology I got as a birthday present.

I think this was more aimed at kids.

Cure and funny.

Well, I actually saw the play, by our small local English theatre company, starring Susan Akintomide and Lotti Brogan.

I'm not really interested in sports, but the play was great, and the acting was better

I had a hard time getting into this one, I was impatient with the bickering of the women. But as the book went on and I got to know them better I also started caring more about them.

This is a hard read, because of the subject matter.

Cute , funny and a bit silly, this has kept me company while doing chores, organizing my books and more. It was pretty good company.

I read the English translation, for work.

I don't really know how to rate poetry collections, so I don't.

This was really good. I especially liked the atmosphere. The book is quite short, well written and interesting. I kind of wanted some more of what happened later.

I'm interested to read more by Sarah Moss.

This was purposefully disjointed and creepy. The narrator is having hallucinations and is possibly in the middle of a nervous breakdown or a psychotic break.

I've been dragging my feet with this one. And now, weirdly, I can't find it. Time to pick something else to keep up my Spanish.

It's been a long time since I read an Agatha Christie-novel. I should read more...

After a slow start, the book picked up in the last third or so.

The main characters are children, which I don't often read. It's not really a kids' book though. I liked the kids and some of the side characters. There were also two characters whom I despised more every time they showed up.

There's some interesting world building and I hope the rest of the series tells us more about the Eckrosie.

Decided to reread this - it looks like part 3 is coming out this autumn.

This had a fascinating premise and structure, and I liked the characters.

I connected with a few of the poems.

Uneven. Some parts annoyed me, but entertaining enough.
