The first snow is due imminently. My last book of 2021 continues into 2022. It is my IRL Book Club read and we meet on Wednesday. Only another 200+ pages to go! 🤞🏻#lastfirst

A Fine Balance
For false gods, they cast long shadows.
(Great to see Elayne again!)

New books! New books! New books!
Well, two new books and two replacements because I am a boundless optimist when I loan out books. 😂 First thing I did with my stimulus check was place an order with my local bookstore.

pickIf you want a book with perfect parents, do not read this book. If you want a book fraught with gods vs magic conflict and desperate choices that ends in an epic battle, you should read this book.
pickOne of the things I most appreciate about the Craft Sequence is that it is in essence an epic fantasy, but one that feels very grounded, that engages with the humanity of its characters. I feel like this particular book misses the mark a little on that front, but it's been a while since I read Two Serpents Rise, and that probably doesn't help. It's still a solid entry for sure, just doesn't grab me the same way.
Public Service Announcement:
Right now on Amazon all of the books in the brilliant Craft Sequence are $3 each on Kindle or get the bundle for $12!
These books provide a diverse and thoughtful look at a very modern fantasy world as our characters adapt to life after the God Wars.
Lawyers with lightning knives! Gargoyle poetry slams! Skeletons in business suits! I recommend these and there‘s never been a better time to check them out!
It‘s decided. I am not leaving bed today!
#90sInJuly #day17 #BlackOrWhite Black seems to be the most popular colour for book spines. In my rainbow TBR shelves, every colour has one shelf to show the range in that particular colour, but black has two & a bit shelves all to itself. Even white has only one shelf. They do look good together though, don't they?
pickThough I still really liked this book, i think it's my least favorite of the series so far. I'm not sure why, but it was harder for me to stay engaged all the time with it. I'm still going to finish the series because the books are still better than a lot of other things I've read. However, I'm also still taking a break between installments to read something different.
pickI like the concept of lawyers being warriors too. But the title never made sense to me because there was no snow!
Decided to read the Craft Sequence in story chronological order rather than publication order. Tor.com article suggested you could do it either way. I decided I preferred to go from Last First Snow through to Full Fathom Five.
pickOnce again, Max Gladstone has created a gem of a novel with interesting, diverse characters and a clever ending.
Another wonderful book from this series. Nearly finished
