Pretty good! Definitely a change of pace from what I have been reading recently (ASOIAF) and a welcome one. I won’t say it’s top tier but it’s fun and humorous and serves its purpose as a palate cleanser for me before I dive back into the pool of Grimdark Fantasy.

The good is well written and interesting. So far I have not been surprised by anything as the show has been pretty accurate to the book. I’m sure that will change as I get deeper into it, but either way it’s still a good read!

I am enjoying the story overall so far. It is definitely not going to go down as one of my favorites, but it is interesting enough to keep me reading and that’s all you can really ask for. Aya is probably my favorite character. Would be Zor, but I feel like he is potentially edgy and mysterious for the sake of being edgy and mysterious. Honestly would love to see more of Liam and the rookie.

Stratt did WHAT?! I mean Ryland is a coward, but damn 😬

The science here is getting crazy cool!

I’m almost positive Rocky isn’t actually dead, but like… MY BOI!!!

Rocky is almost 300 years old, and he has been stuck in space alone for 46 years! Poor guy…

I’m actually really enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. Also a big fan of Rocky 😁

He is about to make first contact! This book is super interesting!

This book is super interesting! Just finished the first 100 pages and I’m having a great time. I love Dimitri 😂

Savine helped Orso escape, and Gorst finally laid down his life for his king. Farewell to one of the most badass characters I’ve met.

Adua has been reclaimed, more or less. The Young Lion led the charge into the Agriont thanks to Gorst and Vick for holding it down above the portcullis. Now to rescue Savine and Orso! The climax is here!

Holy shit, what an awesome couple chapters. I freaking LOVE the Little People chapters and the last one to end this part was phenomenal.

Black Calder fell, and died with honor, more or less. Before he was ironically killed by the man who saved his life twenty years prior, he uttered some foreshadowing words regarding the line of Bethod.

“Ah, so you don’t see everything.”

Leo Dan Brock and Sand Dan Glokta. Never thought I’d say they were similar.

Black Calder, back at it again with the treachery! Honestly, great character.

Rikke working with Bayaz, huh? Can’t show that could go wrong. I love Bayaz’s twisted but accurate wisdom.

“Evil is not the opposite of good. It is what we call another man’s notion of good when it differs from our own.”

PEAK.

Theory… Pike is working for Talins. Specifically Shenkt. Trying to tear down what Bayaz built.

First, the fact Curnsbick mentioned Lamb (Logen) was freaking awesome. Love that guy. But now Sulfur is threatening Savine’s children. Not good!

Leo’s rebellion is over. What a great story. Abercrombie has me hooked!

The Young Lion has reached the shores of Midderland! The war begins!

Well, looks like Leo and Orzo both went to King Jabba (or whatever his name is) to ask for help in the obviously upcoming civil war. Sounds like Jabba is going to side with Orso in that he is not going to help Leo.

ALSO, Leo’s gay heart throb just got caught boinking their other friend. Heart break is a bitch. Also Terez was re-united with Shelia, so that’s very sweet. Might be a send off for her?

Savine is in on the revolution that I totally called. Broad is being sent off to reconnect with his friends in the Breakers for some intrigue & insurrection!

Rikke has essentially killed two of her father’s men who tried to sway her to one side or the other. She is setting the standard.

Well I’m glad they had a good wedding night… 👀

Leo might be tricked into rebellion with The Great Wolf as an ally, and Rikke might have to cut out an eye… what a twist!

“A man is measured by his enemies. Worthy ones can be more missed than friends”. I love it. Bayaz may be a bastard, but damn it if he isn’t an awesome character.

Everyone in this book is freaking brutal 😅 Vick going around manipulating and beating the shit out of nobles and merchants. I feel bad for Tallow 😬
