And hopefully I can reread this one as well.
I'll join you guys for this one
In!Unless I don't like Age of Myth (doubtful :p)

Impossible! :)
Mod
I didn't like it... I LOVED IT :D
I'm torn. Should I finish Riyria first? I didn't realize they're connected and I feel like reading this one will spoil that series for me?

Other than general connections, there isn't anything that will actually be spoiled in those from these. I read these first and still enjoyed the Riyria books just as much. So I think either way is fine.

Thanks! Than I'm in.
I think that beyond the very setting of the book (view spoiler), you won't be spoiled much. I haven't read Age of Swords so I could be wrong though.
Nah. No real spoilers. He wrote them so they can be read in any order and still enjoyed. Don't think I can fit in this reread, unfortunately.

You can always lurk here and re-read through us haha :)
True. I will try and keep track of the discussion. I really want to start Age of War now, but I'm going to wait for the buddy read.

Mod
I am going to resume the series - I definitely want to re-read this book before delving into the next book! So exciting!
Yes, I did pre-order through the kickstarter. So I will get a hardcover of the book, but I have the ebook already. Have since April or so.
C.P. wrote: "Yes, I did pre-order through the kickstarter. So I will get a hardcover of the book, but I have the ebook already. Have since April or so."Oh wow, since April! And you didn't give in and read it immediately? Such willpower :p

More like just no time to read. So I figure I may as well wait for the buddy read. If I can hold out. I've been itching to start.

Starting a little early!
Damn my memory, I just remembered that I glazed over a lot of the first book, Continuing this series has been more of a compulsion than anything else, I'm out.
I started today.
Mod
There's been a lot more Prince Mondilay than I would have liked... (view spoiler)
Everything else has been awesome tho... (view spoiler)
Heh, I've been really busy with work this week. I'm only at 25% ;)Waking up at 5.30 am every morning, and going home at 9 pm :'(
Mod
Been working 9:30pm to 7:15-7:45am 4 days a week, and 9:30pm to 8-9am the 5th day for weeks now... really makes them company policy refreshers hilarious... that talk about leaving on time every day...
At least, for me, it doesn't get in the way of my reading, for the most part ;)
I wish I could read at work but I really can't :/ I can sneak in a few minutes of GR here and there though (more than I should haha).
I am resuming right now! I am looking forward to this re-read!
I listened to Age of Myth, but I'm doing Age of Swords with the ebook. I'm a bit lost with the names...I mean... "Mawyndulë" is definitely NOT how I though that princeling's name was spelled xD
Mod
Mod
Glad we have another to read next month... then we have to start waiting...
I'll parse my comments later today...
Iain wrote: "wow... I just called him Mondelay a few comments ago..."Yes, I saw that. He was "Mandulaï" in my head... x)
Mod
How does the audio pronounce Mawyndule? (Might have misspelled that). I say it may-when-duel. Can't remember if I checked the pronunciation guide or not.

So, in case you guys haven't noticed, I'm trying something new (to me): taking notes on my Kindle as I read. I'm usually struggling to actually comment on my BRs but now, I've got plenty to say :D(Sorry if I'm too chatty... But not really sorry! Iain did ask for comments, after all ;) )
Mod
