One of the things that I love most about this book is the naming of the characters. There are names suited very well to the fantasy genre like Althea, Keffria, Malta, Grag, Wintrow, and Brashen to name a few. Then there's Kyle. And yes, Kyle sucks as a person. He's the absolute worst. His name stands out among the rest like a sore thumb and I think it's by design maybe? Idk, but I think it's hilarious.

#auldlangspine Book 3 is another fantastic read. Chakraborty‘s Daevabad trilogy is one of my favorites & this book has been on my TBR since its release. Amina did not disappoint! I loved the older female pirate & her crew. The blending of historical & fantastical elements creates a richly imagined world full of adventure. It is also an interesting portrait of a woman trying to juggle her passion for adventure with her desire to be a good mother.⬇️

MeganAnn I also loved the interjections of the storyteller giving us more information. The only thing I wasn‘t sold on was that at some points in the story this felt more modern than the historical setting would imply. And while I do think because this is ultimately a fantasy novel that wouldn‘t necessarily be an issue, in this case it pulled me out of the setting rather than lent itself to the fantasy elements. But that‘s a very small thing. 4.5⭐️ 1d

3.75/4⭐️(between very good and excellent)

Characters are great. Atmosphere and world building is really amazing and I love the magic system (spores). Plot is really fun and sweet. However, my engagement was only at a level three. It‘s really good but wasn‘t quite a page turner. The pacing wasn‘t consistent.

One Piece was a huge part of my childhood and teen years. Now as a 30 something I see too many red flags in these stories and characters. But still... still... The manga made me laugh and it was just nice to spend time with those old friends again. And then sexism hits again. And then Oda reverses it. I definitely need some time between each volume. So whenever I feel like, I'm going to read vol. 62. It might take a while.

I absolutely live for the puns in these books, highly anticipate re-reading them before the year is out. Because Reyna and Kianthe are the best

Repost for @PuddleJumper

I've set up a book club on Storygraph about reading the entire Realm of Elderlings series - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf

I'll host readalongs, buddy reads and I'll post on Litsy. I'm hoping to start February/March. Couple of things need sorting like reading order and whether some books need two months to read.

I decided to start this book because it‘s the book club pick for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub and it‘s good so far. I haven‘t read The Cosmere. This is my first book by Brandon Sanderson but I don‘t feel like I‘m missing anything important. It‘s a fairy tale and I like fairy tales. I‘ve heard that this book is inspired by The Princess Bride but I haven‘t read The Princess Bride. All I know about The Princess Bride is that it‘s also a fairy tale.
