The amazon copy i got is so bad. Dnf

Man this is a dark nasty book

'Act out being alive, like a play. And after a while, a long while, it will be true'

'Even if you let yourself go fallow, the weeds will grow, and the brambles. Something will grow.'

For the love of God put fown your self help slop and read a damn good fiction!

It is testament to my mood 6 months ago that I had to DNF this


This book is simply phenomenal - Steinbeck's put his, yours and my soul into this story - gut wrenching stuff!!!

Kaladin Muad'Dib Atreides ?

Kaladin may acc be the best book characrer ever written???

Also someone needs to get the Radiants some Epimax, proning and a TVN review

Literally page 491 it all kicked off lol

On my knees begging for some action
The character exposition is a little tedious atm

"In Northumbria," Offa said, "there is always civil war."

CINEMA MATE

As predicted, Cornwell has me obsessed. Thank the gods this a huge series - dude is absolutely cooking

Et tu Brute?

Genuinely devastated ive never hears of this story before this - what a tale

The first 100 pages were pretty slow and sloggish.
Then...BAM
In comes Sulla's Dictatorship
BAM
Enter gripping introductions to The Grrat namez of the time: Pompey, Cicero, Lucullus, Catalus Caeser, Mithridates, Crassus, Cethegus Marius, Hortensius, Posidinius
A pity my mere state education failed to touch on any of this, instead preferring to recount the Blitz every year for 12 years - ah well, life is still fresh!

Getting hit by a car has, naturally, revived my interest in the Roman Empire.

How would Augustus have responded - a ban on all cars ever perhaps?

We are so back

This is really bad

Unfortunately the Ides of March is now the second worst thing in all Roman history to have happened mid March... as such I may have to shelve this one

Its impossible to read this and not hear in the words, Mary Beards voice - she has such a definitive (in many ways) tone!

Theres some real evilness and grime embedded into the hearty of this story!

Man this is really coming apart... you cant just add motivation for massive plot changing events as they are happening! Its all just really bad writing...

Unfortunately this whole book has been travel to a battle, battle, characters swap groups and repeat

Guthvars probs the most fun charscter to follow. The God's are cringe.

Really struggling to keep going with this one...unfortunately, cuz I thoroughly enjoyed the first book - perhaps what i need is a grimdark norse story but no gods

This one isnt doing it for me like the prior - good but the relatively basic prose is starting to jar, and the amount of exposition is amount ta marvel film

Still fun to read !

DNF

This dude is coming out with some lowky stupid remarks. China as an example of a country that uses its huge industrial might to have set itself up as the biggest renewable infrastructure in the worl- great!...and yet, just paragraphs before says china uses more coal than all the rest world combined. You can be both the biggest renwable resource globally and also the biggest polluter as a consequence!

A literal cats cradle is something everyone knows is a lie, and yet it is

This is so good

Audiobook

They bloomin dunked his corpse's head in Lava - a truly brutal demise!

Its unique, and so thoroughly deep in lore - its hard not to be enamored wirlth the world being made here

Strong Geralt and Dandelion vibe to Dunk and Egg
