This series is so much fun. Seregil and Alec are great characters and I enjoyed getting to know Seregil's sisters and learning more about Thero and Klia. I have heard complaints about this book being slow and dull, but I didn't really find it so. More political intrigue and diplomacy than adventure and war, though.

It's been a long time since I had so much fun reading an epic fantasy! Quick and easy read, great characters and an interesting world.

Esta vez he leído el libro en español para practicar la lengua.

Realized I don't really remember the three books I've read so far in this series, so decided to reread them before carrying on.

Read for work. Both funny, and sad, as well as a very enjoyable read.

Continuing my slow reread, in order to not burn out on Hobb again. This was really good, am looking forward to the next one.

Saw an interesting interview with the author and it made me want to keep reading the series.

I'm not sure what I think of this one. The historical and cultural details were fascinating, but I found most of the characters to be either annoying and/or distant.

It is a well written book, and I'm not sorry I read it, but it is not a favourite.

I'm really enjoying these! Kate is awesome and the world is fascinating. Normally I find the alpha male thing annoying, but I kind of like Curran too.

An interesting start to a new series. I'm a big fan of the Alex Verus series, so I was very interested to read Jacka's new book.

The world is fascinating and liked Stephen well enough. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Favourite character: Hobbes the cat.
Oh, and I listened to the audiobook and really liked the narrator.

I was an early and strong reader. But only in reading skills: at 11, when my teacher made me read this - because children's and YA lit wasn't prestigious enough - I was still a child and I never made it through this. And what's worse, I've never managed to find any interest for Selma Lagerlöf since.

I spontanely used an audible credit on this one when I saw it was narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal, who is a fantastic writer and an equally fantastic audio book narrator. That was yesterday afternoon...

This was a fast paced read and I liked the characters.

Found this for free on audible. It was kind of cute.

A fun, fast-paced read. Reading the series in chronological, rather than publication order this is the first book where Miles is the main character. He's one of those characters with boundless energy and enthusiasm who, although he is very intelligent, manages to get into quite a lot of trouble because he doesn't really think things through. Oh well, he's only about 17 years old in this...

I really enjoyed this book. Am looking forward to the next one.

My first T. Kingfisher.

I've heard it described as low stakes high fantasy. Pretty cute, but perhaps a little too low stakes for me, personally.

For the most part very good, though perhaps a little uneven.

I'm not sure how to rate this. I listened to it on audio, which was read by Christopher Lee. He, of course, did a fantastic job.

Wow, this was so good! As always Kay made me cry...

This takes place in the alternate Europe Kay has been working in for so long, and it was gratifying to see little signs not only of the other two books at this stage, but also things like Jehane's statue, and Crispin's art.

I loved the story, characters, themes, and as always Kay's writing style is so beautiful.

I finished this approximately 8 minutes ago, I may add to/change this when I've had some time to gather my thoughts.

This is really good. It’s made up of different plot threads, but also images from places and events, and even meeting minutes and strange interludes from things like history and computer code.

It’s a very important book, in that it shows that we could save the Earth, but not by making an important invention and then keeping going the was we do now. We would need to address more than carbon, things like economic gaps, refugees, war, gender roles among other things.

Oh, and a “warning”: make sure you are comfortable when you start reading the book, specifically that the space you are in is at a comfortable temperature. I read the first chapter while being too warm on the first day of a heat wave after a week of rain. Don’t do that!!!

This was really good, in fact so good that I bought more books by Sarah Waters before this one was finished. You need to keep on your toes, as the perspective changes rather rapidly at times. But, I don't mind having to use my brain :)

I'm still enjoying my journey through the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Am seriously considering that I may have to upgrade all the titles to 5 stars. These books are so good, and I keep thinking about events and characters long after I read the books.

I don't generally care that much about the bad guys, so it's kind of amazing how much I pity a despicable character like Rhulad. My favourite parts of this book were probably the Fiddler and the Tehol parts. Oh, and Beak made me cry so hard!

“People with no sense or appreciation of humour, Invigilator, always take money too seriously. It's possession, anyway. Which is why they spend all their time stacking coins, counting this and that, gazing lovingly over their hoards and so on. They're compensating for the abject penury everywhere else in their lives.”

Got a fever as a side effect of the COVID vaccine. So, was unable to do anything useful yesterday. Found this on YouTube and listened to it. There were things, characters, magic etc that I liked. For example the inspiration from Egyptian mythology.

A fun, twisty, turny little story charmingly narrated by Neil Gaiman and Jewel Staite.

I can't quite recall if I've read this whole book. I think so, but it MAY be that I've read only part of it while at university.
