Continuing my Tchaikovsky spree

I'm nearing the end now and I *think* I know where things are headed. After the events in Zavaelar, I suspect Caeden will shapeshift in to Davian and the latter really lives. That left a loose end but the scene with Nethgalla tied that up. Caeden keeping the ring all but confirmed it for me. I also suspect that Davian is the son of Raeleth and Niha, which is why he is "dead", given the events of Zavaelar.

I'm so excited for this

Please just let this be over. My god it is so full of unnecessary fluff and filler. So dull. The plot points revealed as revelations are just "yeah ok moving on"

Needed an entertaining palate cleaner after Captive's War, so far is delivering exactly what I'd expect from Weir (not a bad thing)

man I really hoping the pace picks up in this second book. Sazed has just run in to the third army and I feel as though nothing of substance has really happened. Look I'm enjoying the story enough to at least commit to the first trilogy but the pace is grinding on me a bit. I also tend to glaze over the Allomancy "fights".

I admittedly really struggled to get some momentum going with this, which surprised me. Now the tricky bit is putting it down to go to sleep each night. Definitely a slow start for me personally but absolutely glad I pushed through

This is an enjoyable read so far *however* JFC I am so sick of "my little star". Having what I assume is a toddler just tacked on to the story forever sulking and crying and just being...there? is so fucking annoying for me. I find myself skimming over Odessa for this reason, while the other POVs are saving the book currently.

Moving on to this after the Bridge Kingdom as that series made for great in-studio listening. Enjoying this so far also

new audiobook series started for studio/walking. let's see how this compares to the bridge kingdom 🤷

this is such a poorly written book. Everything is cliche. An angsty moody MMC. The "on the run" phase that I am presently enduring reads like a made for tv movie. Unfortunately I am someone who has to persevere and get to the end of a story. Trying real hard here.

this is my next wind down/ bed time book. Reaaaaaally struggling to push through as it reads as though it was written by a daydreaming teenager. I get that my bar for writing quality is probably pretty high immediately following on from R F Kuang however it's just pissing me off. Basically "I'm hot and have lots of money and clothes. Oh and I'm really super strong. And I have these really cool powers too". Painful.

This just feels so poorly written and cheap after reading The Priory of the Orange Tree. Definitely just cliche fluff with humourously sex-mad characters lacking any other traits or depth 🤷

been a while since I've found a book like this. The writing is just....good. nice. flowy and well done. really enjoying the story

Needed something on the lighter side and the other book I attempted to start I threw on the floor. Pleasantly surprised by this so far! It is following 🌈the formula🌈 but that isn't necessarily a bad thing! Well written so far
