Empire in Black and Gold: Shadows of the Apt 1 | 
I like these covers and this series.
pickGreat fantasy series with multi-layered characters from one of my favorite authors! I read the first two books now and will continue this soon.
pickLola is reading as well #dogsoflitsy
Shadows of the Apt is a great epic fantasy series written by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
It spans 10 books and instead of having familiar #fantasy creatures like orcs and dwarves, this one has insect-kinden. Each species shares the characteristics of their respective insect.
We‘ve got hardworking ants, brilliant mantis fighters, stubborn and sturdy beetles, etc. And then one day the wasps attack....

2. I‘ve recently decided that I want to read every Adrian Tchaikovsky book. Since he‘s super-prolific and writes in lots of genres he seems like a good pick.
3. My teenage self used to crush on Sailor Mercury, but since I‘ve been getting into Steven Universe lately I‘ll say Amethyst.
4. Night owl with a tendency to fall asleep early against my will
This is as wild as I'm willing to go for #BooksInTheWild - my kitchen table, which I wiped down twice before fetching the books.
Frankly, I have an #Obsession about pristine books. Probably already a case of OCD - no food, no drink, no hand cream, no dirty/greasy fingers,...
I'm glad I converted to Kindle mainly, because I can keep it clean, no broken spines, no bookmarks that could rub off colour on the pages,...

I go to the Book of the New Sun well a lot, so even though its main character ends up ruling the world, I'm going with a different series.
In the Shadows of the Apt books the Wasp Empire wants to #ruletheworld and it's up to the Beetles, Ants, Moths, Flies, and Mantises of the Lowlands to stop them... if they can stop fighting amongst themselves. #JuneTunz
pickI wonder who the character is on the cover ??
I really enjoyed this book but i think i really like "children of time" more . He does do great characters though , and magical , pretty good world building , am having a little holiday away from reality at the moment by beginning this series , i will see how i go with the second but i would put this up ther with david eddings and george rr martin not to mention terry brooks !! Its good real good .
For #shadows #feistyfeb how about the best epic fantasy series you haven't read? Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt.
