Sharing a weird word of the week a day late. I‘ve read The Silmarillion several times but never stopped to figure out exactly what weregild meant until this week. In this case, Isildur kept the one ring as a weregild for his father & brother killed in battle.

weregild: monetary value set for a person and paid to their family or lord if slain; also man price or blood money (noun)

Slightly better than the first but still not great.

And we finished it. This was my second read but my husband's first. I liked catching things that I didn't catch during my first read. What I loved best was seeing my husband's reactions. On to the next!

Most of my rereads come in the form of me being delusional about my ability to finish series by rereading so as to be able to “catch up” to where I was and then (in theory) finish the series.

Favourite standalone rereads :
1. Uprooted by Naomi Novik
2. The Island & The Ring by Laura C Stevenson
3. Howls Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

dabbe I can relate to your series problem! 😂 1-3 new on the TBR! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 2h

I‘m babysitting sweet Wesley and his brothers tonight, and I‘ve reread a big chunk of HEIR TO THE SHADOWS in between play sessions. It‘s clicked for me that the reason these books are so readable and compelling, despite the dodgy bits, is how well Anne Bishop nails that all-important balance between the mythic and the personal. These characters are PEOPLE first, no matter what dark magics or ancient social orders govern their lives.

A fun read. Love the mashup of several modern franchises with a little bit of history. Looking forward to the sequel.

I read this off a recommendation of Angela Collier's YouTube, and it was a good one.
