Just finished this and it was okay. There were some really stupid plot points and decisions made but it was tolerable. This and the other two novels following it also seem to be taking place and are the cause of the events in The Out of the Abyss module. (My OOTA campaign is on a hiatus currently, but it's so amusing to me that my characters are unfortunately there to experience all of that mess)

Doppoetry I'll be taking a bit of a break from Drizzt, and reading some poetry collections. 10h
Doppoetry I hope this will also mean I have more time to read physical books. 10h

Last week was very off for me. I got very little reading done due to fatigue and things out of my control. Made little progress with Archmage, and was too tired for any physical reads. I hope this week will go better.

This series continues to get better and better! I really enjoyed the humor in this book and I found myself laughing out loud several times.

I am still struggling to find time to sit down and read WFTD, but I am aiming for next week. In the meantime I am continuing my Drizzt book binge, they are ones I can kind of zone out on and it wouldn't make much of a difference, so I listen to them when I play my fav MMO.

🎧Archmage
🎧The Witness for the Dead

Doppoetry I also picked up JS&MN because of a book club discussion VOD I was watching (for Lud in the Mist) and one of the hosts mentioned how they got similar vibes from JS&MN. Having gotten through the first chapter I can attest to it being pretty whimsical and absolutely having similar vibes. 2w
TieDyeDude I've heard good things about Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but it's a bit of a clunker, so I have to plan out time to be able to really dig into it. 2w
Doppoetry @TieDyeDude I generally don't really mind clunky books if they're well written (I love Tolkien) so I'm sure I'll do well with it. I also find it easier to get audiobooks of those kinds of books to make it easier and read along with a physical/digital copy. 2w

Just when I thought that I couldn‘t love Senshi more, volume seven hit me with all of the feels. I really enjoyed the group‘s sense of kinship and Senshi‘s backstory in this one!

This volume was very weighty and so very good! I devoured this one and can‘t wait to read the seventh volume.

There is a lot to unpack here. Aside from being repetitive, this one and the previous book deal with themes of good vs evil, but they lean more towards trying to justify heinous actions because the characters we follow are “good“ and the enemy is “Bad“ As readers we know that there is a third party that manipulates things from the shadows. But certain good characters claiming it's okay to slaughter the enemies because they are evil is gross to me.

Doppoetry Basically, in the past, there was a group of orcs and half-orcs that wanted to settle in a region and the dwarves were not fans but were made to sign a peace agreement. But now the third party basically causes the ancestors of those orcs to change command and attack peaceful settlements, causing a war, and then the dwarves who were opposed to the peace become trigger-happy and use that as an excuse to resume fighting. 3w
Doppoetry As far as the reader is aware, there are still peaceful orcs and half-orcs in said settlement, but it's overshadowed by the malcontented orcs who want to go back to the way things were.

A lot of mixed feelings about this book.

Last week was a slow reading week, but I made progress with the tagged book and finished The Aeneid. I still need to take notes on 5 of the books, but I am satisfied with having finished it. Next week I will be starting Witness because I really want to catch up to the series before the new book comes out.

🎧Rise of the King
🎧The Witness for the Dead

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

Volume 2 starts in the same manner where its predecessor leaves off, however by the time Frieren and Fern add an extra member to their party, things are about to get WILD. I was not expecting the turn that this series took, but I am very much looking forward to reading the next volume in this series!

📚Currently reading:

🎧Lud in the Mist
🎧Rise of the King

Progress: I had minimal reading done in the past two weeks due to siding replacements and the construction of an overhanging roof to this house. I'm afraid the following week will be the same 😭
