Meeeeeee!!!! I wish Michael Kramer would read to me before bed every night!


Bill | 2150 comments I read a while back but might join in for a reread if the timing works out. Could probably use a reread before book 2 anyway.

In case anyone missed it, I think this book is still on sale. In the US, anyway.


C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments Thanks, Niki! I will look into that. :)


Shaitarn | 2184 comments I just bought this without even spotting this thread - spooky! And convenient. :)

DAMN YOU AMERICANS!! Haha

I'll probably reread this before book two is out in August. Kramer is back for book to and I'm hyped :D

Solseit | 1516 comments This book has been in my TBR list and I already have a copy! Read to go (on September 1st!)


Frank | 834 comments Looking forward to this one, had the first self published version, then I found out that the newer version was expanded. So I purchased this as well.
I'll be ready.


Wonderland Wanderer | 36 comments I have added this one to my TBR and will try to purchase the book before September so I can join you as well!

Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I loved this book and have the second one on pre-order. I'm loving the covers! I can't help myself! I hope everyone enjoys it =)

message 22: by Cheesu (new) - added it

Cheesu | 39 comments I got three chapters in before seeing this! Going to put it on the back burner and do it as a buddy read instead in September. Have to say though, the first few chapters did catch my attention.


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments I'll probably join this as well :)

The prologue is pretty awesome XD


Saar The Book owl | 3207 comments If they have the book in our library, then I'm reading it too. It sounds really good!

Michael Krammer.........you're not one for dive bars I see. :)

The audio was as usual excellent.

Yeah I've honestly become pretty picky with what narrators I'll listen to haha. Good quality audio can make or break a book for me, so I'd rather not spoil a book with a bad narrator.


message 31: by Ahdam (new) - added it

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments So I decided to read the prologue of the book out of curiosity and slight hype and I'm getting a lot of eye of the world prologue vibes whether its good or not we will have to see


message 32: by Ahdam (new) - added it

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments I'm five chapters in and I'm really interested in the premise with the augurs and the gifted and so far I'm liking the pace since it's progressing pretty well for me and I'm liking Davian so far

I am VERY excited for this read!! First book club - yay! I've already "earned" enough in my 5 for 1 challenge, so I'm ready to start on the 1st, lol.


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments I've just started reading this a few days ago and so far I'm enjoying it a lot!


Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments I'll jump in as soon as I'm done with Words of Radiance, which also starts on the 1st. It's possible I'm over-extending myself, lol.


Diana Stormblessed (dashichka) | 5398 comments Yes! Finally a book I already own. Got a copy at JordanCon and have been meaning to actually read it one day.

Well hope you can do it since I've tried to do that and it's never worked for me and its why I decided to read valour last week because it was double booked with this

I really hope I like this since all the praise seems promising and I hearing wheel of time a lot and I've only read eye of the world and the prologue of this book seems very familiar to that so hopefully it will be good


Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments I hope so too, Ahdam. I raced through The Way of Kings in six days (it was so good) so I'm hoping to keep a similar pace with this one. I'm also reading Sailing to Sarantium starting on the fifth so I'll not get to WoR until mid-month. This group just reads too many good books.


message 39: by Liam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Liam (leeman729) | 828 comments I just have a feeling I'm not going to be able to squeeze this one in haha. Too many books to read in September, and I'm really trying to stay invested in the Stormlight and Wheel of Time BRs =/.

I'm feeling the crunch too, although I'm already behind on both SA and WoT, so I might as well compound that, lol.

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments I'm around chapter 16 and there is a lot of interesting stuff happening

(view spoiler)


Frank | 834 comments Started a bit early, five chapters in. Enjoying it so far as I like the characters.

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I couldn't get a copy of this one so I'll have to sit it out. 😟

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I should get mine from the library in the next couple of days. Looking forward to it, but I know I will be slow.


Saar The Book owl | 3207 comments I'll get my copy from the library today and will jump on it. I'm curious!


Wonderland Wanderer | 36 comments I have started this one yesterday. Only read the 1syt chapter but I like where this is going so far!
