Brought to you by my layover in O'Hare.
All the Ashley Weaver mysteries I could get my hands on: satisfying and well-written. Young woman takes to detecting after unfortunate events.
Rulebook for Restless Rogues: charming adventure (m/m) with a happy ending
Dragonfall: DNF, I got bored in the first 20 pages.
Ink Blood Sister Scribe: I really liked this- unusual and borderline too scary/violent for me!- but the ending felt a little too wrapped up.
The Adventures of Amina el-Sirafi: middle aged pirate goes back to sea, leaving her daughter behind, and has adventures with magic. Spectacular.
The Thorns Remain: over-written and under-baked. DNF.
Thistlefoot: good, but too weird/modern for me. DNF.
Translation State: as good as the first three books and fully worth the wait.
I like the sound of The Adventures of Amina el-Sirafi - I will have to see if our library has it. I recently enjoyed Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree while on vacation. It's a gentle and relaxing story about an orc barbarian who retires from adventuring to set up a coffee shop.
ReplyDeleteLoved that one! Did you see there's a sequel coming out soon?
DeleteHa! Should have known you'd have already read it! I did hear about the sequel but I think it's going to be a prequel - not sure what I think about that.
DeleteGood to hear about Translation State because it's just sitting on my nightstand, waiting for me to finish my current book.
