This one looks really interesting!! I absolutely love sci-fi and fantasy, so I've got the audiobook version and can't wait to start.

This is one I haven't read yet and I love fantasy, so looking forward to starting it. I can't get it any other way, so will be reading it on Internet Archive.

I plan to join in this read.

Just finished and I did enjoy this read. Not quite as in depth as I expected, but still a good plot and moved along well.

Just started today.

I enjoyed the book. it was a short easy reas and I found the plot intriguing. There are a number of books in the series, but they are all stand alone novels by different authors.
