The Children of Gods and Fighting Men - Forum discussion

What is everyone reading this month? I have 3 books on the go!

Sons of Darkness
The Lost War
The Way of Edan

After this trilogy of epicness, I think I’m going to read something lighter in June.

I'm currently reading 3 books as well

The Shadow of What was Lost
Say Nothing, A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland
The Murderer's Son

Those books sound amazing, Heike!!

I just ordered Sons of Darkness. I hope you love it!

This month I’m hoping to make it through Battle Drum, The Emerald Mile, and Scarlet.

I just started Into The Forest: Tales of Baba Yaga. it's an anthology of stories around the witch of Slavic Folklore by various authors. And I am listening to The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by S. A. Chakraborty.

Currently reading Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter, and almost done with Red Country by Joe Abercrombie, will go on to Sharp Ends next

I loved Rage of Dragons. Going to read the sequel once the 3rd book is announced!

Really enjoying it so far, there are so many good fantasy books out the last few years. Yourself included. I always have around 20 physical books to read, plus audiobooks

I have so many books on my TBR! It’s crazy! I wish I could read quicker

I managed to balance 4 more books on my TBR pile today.


That last one is over 1,000 pages

Ask me about the 9 book series I got for free yesterday.

I've had Rage of Dragons on my TBR for what feels like ages, I think I need to move it to the top of the pile!

Over 1,000 pages? *faints* Do you plan to quit your day job to make time for that one? 😁

Nice try.

I'm currently reading Gobbelino London & A Complication of Unicorns, the third installment in a pretty hilarious UF series featuring a feline PI and his human minion sidekick. Highly recommended for times when you're in need of a lighter read and a good laugh (or two or three)!

Also on my TBR for this month: The Calculating Stars and The Crystal Cave.

I've been wanting to read The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi ever since I first heard about it! How are you enjoying it, Ioanna?

I am really enjoying it! The characters/ stories are really good! and I love the whole pirate element.

That's so good to hear, I really can't wait to read it now! (It is a truth universally acknowledged that pirates make any book better 😁.)

ooooh! I have the first book [because I think you told me too]. I'm gonna move that to the top to my toppling tower.

A complication of unicorns is such an amazing title!

The latest installment in the series is called A Menace of Mermaids 😁.

I am about finished with The Battle Drum by Saara El-Arifi and its wonderful and am going to start Morgan Is My Name by Sophie Keetch

Donna, I just finished The Battle Drum and Morgan Is My Name, and I loved both of them! I hope you do too

OMG - A Menace of mermaids is even better!!! Love it.

I’ve also been seeing Morgan is my Name everywhere. Glad to hear it’s good. I shall be reading it at some stage

Shelby! That ending to The Battle Drum.....holy moly!!! Definitely excited to get to Morgan.

Is that Saara’s book? I’m hearing great things about that series. Would you say it’s adult fantasy or YA?

Yes it is, and it's adult!!

Starting Heart of Sun Warrior tomorrow! I’m so excited to see how this duology ends. Has anyone else read it?

oh that's the Chinese mythology one right? looks beautiful and sounds interesting! I try to read more diversely when I can so that's on the list for sure.
I'm still working through The Book That Wouldn't Burn by Marky Mark. Been a long week in work, so slowed down a lot
