Fantasy Book Club discussion

Who will be reading The Rook by Daniel O'Malley?
How do you like it so far? No spoilers this thread.

I'm in.

I'm on page two. How can someone not embrace the Welsh!!!!

I love Welsh stories.........

I will start later this week.

Her name is Welsh, don't know if anything else is. I'll be mis-pronouncing her name. That's all I'm saying!

I'm out this month. The combination of the book being less easy to find, outside my typical area of interest, and being in the middle of other reading projects made it an easy choice, but I'm interested to read what folks have to say about this one. Prydain has left me with a high estimation of Welsh fiction.

I'm really hoping to get to this one during May. I made the mistake of starting too many books at once and now have a bit of a backlog, but I've wanted to read The Rook for ages!

Incidentally, it's on sale with Kobo at the moment, and also in Kindle Unlimited, but I suspect both of those only apply to the UK right now. Seems rather pricier in the US. It also looks like the sequel is released in a month, but only the ebook; there's a wait of several months for the hardback.

It happens I just read this book for my local science fiction book club. I really liked it, I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out next month. I both read the hardback and listened to the audiobook, which was read by the same reader who did the Thursday Next series audiobooks.

Yeah..$9.99 on USA kindle.

If anyone has access to the library service Hoopla, you can borrow the audiobook for free.

All good points. I'm an old-fashioned hardcopy reader, I guess I should have clarified. :)

I'm in. It's something different from what I usually read. Hoping that's a good thing.

Just noticed that it's on Hoopla too :) so I can likely fit this in due to it being an audiobook

I'm 11% in and it's been fantastic so far.

I'm in... I have read it before but I will re-read it for this event.

I read it a couple months ago so I'm out, but I'll pop in for discussion.

I'm already about 25%. I bought this is 2013 So I'm glad to read it. I'm enjoying it too, although I keep reading 'Myfanwy gr Miffany' every time I see the name. Why not stick with the proper pronunciation?

I did the same thing Helen. I finally just gave up.

I'm already 20% done and really liking it. Good timing with part two coming out in June.

As soon as I finish The Bands of Mourning I'll start it.

60% now. I have more quibbles.

Just finished The Well of Ascencion, planing to start with this one right away!

It's fun.

Started today. At 5% I like the humor.
