Even when the story isn't the best, this leans in on romantic tropes more than I care for, Cherryh's world building is top rate. Merovingen comes alive, from its dirty dangerous canals to the towers where the rich and powerful live. I don't usually read the Appendix, but I recommend it here, it's almost Tolkiensque in describing the religions, culture, music, politics and history of Merovin. 4 💥💥💥💥
1st book #20in4 @Andrew65

Now in all the world there were above a hundred cities; which was a good deal better world than the Ancestors had left.

This wavered between a pick and so-so, but I'm feeling generous so I'll give it a low pick. Its gritty urban fantasy, although the first story seemed more post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction. I don't believe I'd be interested in following the series any further. 3 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️

3/10 #bookbuyingdiet

📖 Borderland and Beyond The North Wind
📽 LoTR, The Expanse TV series
📖 I almost always read the book first. I did buy The Last Wish after I heard about The Witcher TV series. I haven't read it yet.

Once upon a time (isn't that the way humans always start a story?) there was magic in the world, or so your bards and storytellers of old have always claimed: elven lords in dark forests and sumptuous halls beneath the hills, dragons curled in mountain caverns sleeping upon hoarded gold, Nereids in woodland streams, merman in the cold gray sea.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
