Dragonfly Falling
Dragonfly Falling | Adrian Tchaikovsky
5 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Two young companions, Totho and Salma, arrive at Tark to spy on the menacing Wasp army, but are there mistakenly apprehended as enemy agents. By the time they are freed, the city is already under siege. Over in the imperial capital the young emperor, Alvdan, is becoming captivated by a remarkable slave, the vampiric Uctebri, who claims he knows of magic that can grant eternal life. In Collegium, meanwhile, Stenwold is still trying to persuade the city magnates to take seriously the Wasp Empire's imminent threat to their survival. In a colorful drama involving mass warfare and personal combat, a small group of heroes must stand up against what seems like an unstoppable force. This volume continues the story that so brilliantly unfolded in Empire in Black and Gold - and the action is still non-stop.

Book delivery! Special Edition from The Broken Binding. I have nearly 2 weeks of reviews to write and 5-6 other deliveries … work‘s busy. The weather is lovely! Nap all day long type weather … if only ♥️ I wish I had a hammock. Read any good books lately? Having a good weekend? I‘m listening to the first two Iron Druid books ….

I liked this book very much and enjoyed the comparison people different people and insects. That was highly original.

“Ah, but it is an interesting thing, that these things can so seldom be proved. If I were to perform some piece of, hrmf, #magic for you, here in this room, you would claim a thousand ways it could have been done. Indeed, those ways might be exceedingly unlikely, but you would cling to them rather than accept the, mmn, the chance that #magic, the eternal inexplicable, might be the true agent...” - Gjegevey (best fantasy name ever?)

Only 100 pages to go yes although pacing still an is stii an issue luv the characters and lots of twists

Finished and loved the ending , so refreshing to feel at once satisfied yet also looking forward to the journeys of all these great characters, in a way its like the fellowship in Lord of the rings , that doest fall apart. Will just have to keep reading the series and loving it .
