Heading for an insane finish. I hope it doesn't pickle out. The tension and realistic approach to danger is refreshing. Glad to not have young people doing stupid things in the face of mortal peril.

Quick story, super creepy killer and non-stop tension up until now. Just hope it wraps up as good.

Playing out like a hard-boiled revenge story involving veteran killers on both sides, not to mention the writing is top-notch.

Quickly moving, violent at its heart and regrets following in the wake. So far, 5 star.

Sheer grit of the Spartans. Mind numbing self discipline, self torture of the body's limits to a degree of immense strength and their everyday life so brilliantly depicted in this book, the movie 300 pales by a long shot.

Told from the perspective of Xeo, an asylum seeker turned Spartan, this is a story of unflinching dedication and utter fearlessness in the face of certain death. So far, so fucking good.

Heart poundigly good. Michael Connelly does write simple step by step detective work so good. Harry Bosch is as solid as always. Not one dull page and no wasting words.

Victor Methos writes some genuinely fast-paced, heart racing thrillers. No-nonsense action and grit delivered unerringly.

The constant self-loathing and whining of Jacob is getting irritating. So far in and I just wish to get it through. The only books I have felt such before were those of James Patterson, defying logic, slow as heck, and stupidity over the top.

I really hope the last 40% rachet it up because I sure am soldiering through this one even though every part of my brain asks me to delete it off the Kindle.

It looks like we are trudging through a wild landscape with battles brewing all across Epheria. Various factions, empires, gods, uraks, dragons, elves, dwarves, creatures of different planes all vying for something and seems set for a bloody gory end. I can already imagine the breathtaking rampage that the final unreleased book to be. We would be lucky to get one more Novella in between this and Gods and Ashes.

Sometimes pacing along like a maniac & other times trudging along. I think I do not like Dahlen as a character. He is just way too noble and nerdy. I think Joe Abercrombie has spoilt me with his myriad characters of various shades of grey & cunning, especially with - The First Law Trilogy.

Heading towards a mega war with all the different plots and myriad characters in the wrong places. What a gripper!

This is a phenomenal read. These chapters are blazing with multiple pov's, solid action & storyline arching towards a huge incoming war. Goodread.

In spite of not much stuff happening, these 200-something pages have been fascinating, the writing is top notch & the characters are so well fleshed out. What a read!

Superb read so far & very fast-paced. Higher stakes, solid characters & on point.

A different kind of fantasy. Straight to the point & paces up well. There are only two shades of characters. Black & white. Nothing in between.

Started out pretty well, immediately descending into chaotic drab & the main character, Gabriel De Leon,being angry all the time, cocky as hell. Felt like a teenager with anger issues with the world for not much reason. I was contemplating deleting the book off my Kindle, but somehow bits & pieces kept me interested and took me a whole 20 days to reach 50%.
The pace & story are picking well, brutal violence in store.
