This gets off to a great start and is beautifully written. But because I've been super busy and am consequently tired I'm putting it on hold in favour of a comfort reread so I can appreciate and enjoy properly!

I actually finished Book 1 a while ago but then got distracted. It's great to be back with the characters even though we're at that fantasy quest stage where most everyone has been separated and one presumed dead!

Enjoying! The writing and structure has leapt a big notch since the first in the trilogy.

Dr Mark
Dr Mark is on page 315 of 512 of This Woven Kingdom (This Woven Kingdom, #1)
All the tropes (powerful girl who apparently doesn't know she's a princess etc) but done with a twist, verve and twists and turns! Enjoying!

I love this trilogy! Also: Zole in book 2 is a revelation.

Excellent Magic Academy writing! Up there with The Poppy War. (I won't mention that other author 😂)

More murders in this book than a Midsomer ep!

Dr Mark is 28% done with Yurei: The Japanese Ghost
Better than I expected! Perhaps I was sceptical of an American writing on this topic.

Yurei: The Japanese Ghost

Dr Mark
Dr Mark is 30% done with Fearless (Fractal #1)
Some interesting things so far:

* Things are much more scary than in most space operas because of the plausible near future tech - ie operating in 0 g most of the time and an ever present danger of hull breach

* Distinct ideological differences between space colonies and Earth at an early stage of formation, for plausible reasons

* Murder mystery too!

Love to know what's happening back in Sorlost so onwards!

Seems to have caused a big stir among some fantasy and grimdark readers because it's well written - ie more of a literary style than the high fantasy you might expect. And the characters are not all that likeable. But I'm finding it a great read so far!

One of the many cool things about this book is some people have little pet dinosaurs on their shoulders. This is never explained.

Two chapters! Off to a very good start. I was so in the mood for clever Space Opera!
