edit data

Luke Stoltzfoos is a teacher and author in Pennsylvania. He has to spell his last name out for people on the phone every day, and wonders what people would do if he just spelled his first name “John” but told everyone to pronounce it as “Luke.” He enjoys staying indoors and doing as little as possible with his partner and their three brilliant and brave daughters. He spends much of his time generally hoping for the world to last a few more years. There is still so much he hopes to see, after all.

Good ol’ swords and spells. Mostly audiobook so far for these, and they’re fun. Somehow I’m still rooting for Orka and Varg. Elvar kinda sucks.

Cool world, well developed and flawed characters, interwoven narratives that connect in a satisfying ending. That being said, every sentence was maybe 3 words too long.

This series has been so fun to read. It’s good, capital F Fantasy. Fitz is a top-tier tragic hero.
