Fifth Quarter
Fifth Quarter | Tanya Huff
5 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Trained to kill from childhood, siblings Bannon and Vree have only known life as assassins in the Imperial Army. The army is both their mother and father, their lives subject to the whims of the Crown. When their latest target steals Bannon's body for his own, Vree saves her brother by dragging his spirit in to share hers. But two assassins in one body is one assassin too many. To save both their lives, they must abandon the only life theyve known, risking Imperial ire and possible execution, to regain Bannons body. It isn't until after they capture Gyhard, the body thief, that they realize they can't force him to do anything while he holds Bannon's body hostage. But Gyhard is willing to trade Bannon's body for their assistance. All they have to do while being hunted for desertion and dealing with an unknown power able to Sing the dead out of the grave is betray the oaths they've lived by and help Gyhard secure the body of an Imperial Prince.

Healthier breakfast today. I‘m really enjoying FIFTH QUARTER so far. It‘s got that 90s fantasy feel and it‘s unabashedly queer; a mighty good combination.

LazyOwl Love that cover 5y
xicanti @LazyOwl it‘s by Jody Lee, who‘s one of my favourites. I love her character-centric covers. 5y

A #weeklyforecast:

On the novel front, I‘ll focus on FIFTH QUARTER and BRANDED BY FLAMES. I‘d like to squeeze in THE ULTIMATE PI DAY PARTY, too, but my reading speed‘s currently crap so it might not happen.

For comics, I‘ll finish ESSEX COUNTY and start my epic WicDiv reread.

It‘s back to Colette for short fiction.

And for nonfiction, I anticipate a good time with MONDO COCKTAIL.

vivastory I'm currently reading Wicked + Divine. I'm on volume 3. 5y
Eyelit I just got the last three volumes of W&D from the library and looking forward to finishing the series 😄 5y
LazyOwl I couldn't get into W+D but maybe I should give it another go 🤔 5y

xicanti @vivastory I hope you‘re enjoying it! It‘s one of my favourites. 5y
xicanti @Eyelit I‘ve got the final volume waiting for me to pick up, too, so I figure I‘d better get this reread started. 5y
xicanti @LazyOwl I highly recommend it. If you‘re into puzzle books, it shapes up into a great one. Lots of little clues that eventually come together in epic ways. 5y

Sometimes I make healthy breakfast choices and sometimes I eat the last raspberry paczek because no one else claimed it and I don‘t want it to go to waste.

The mug, as always, lies.

I started FIFTH QUARTER in bed this morning and continued while I ate. I tried to read it once before, about 20 years ago, and I‘m pretty sure I drifted away from it then. Hopefully it does more for me this time. The first 40 pages were promising.

AlaMich Wasting paczki is a sin!! 😉 5y

It was too weird to finish. Felt like I was reading horror not fantasy. Too different from the first book.
