Kerith has many humanoid and non-humanoid race living uneasily together including the Vaelinar from another world. There are politics and war brewing. Against this epic fantasy is interwoven the everyday life of the Farbranch family which gives it structure. Nicely done 👍🏼

humouress Doesn‘t end on a cliff hanger and feels like a complete story but leaves enough open to continue the overarching story in the next book. I think this was a LibraryThing recommendation for me (edited) 2mo

The Four Forges | Jenna Rhodes

The timeline is a bit confusing; years/ decades can pass between chapters, maybe because some of the characters are long lived Vaelinars (elves). I‘m ~ 1/4 way through and following a few characters. I‘m not sure yet how they relate to each other, though they do interact unawares.
There are many different races/ species on this planet (Kerith) who live uneasily together.
I do like the warmth of the Farbranch family, who are Dwellers (dwarves).

humouress About 2/5 the way through and still not entirely sure of the direction but the world building is holding my attention 2mo

humouress Maps would have been useful. There are several incidental animal deaths (edited) 2mo

so-so

There's one aspect of this book that kinda ruined it for me (downplayed SA). But other than that aspect I really enjoyed it. Might have been my favorite mellick book if it wasn't for that.

This book is ridiculous from start to finish. It starts strongly as we learn about Sly Guy‘s unique family. The story ends on a somewhat dark high note as the reader learns about the aftermath of this Christmas adventure and its effect on Sly Guy‘s family life. The issue is there was a pretty significant amount of material in the middle that I was just forcing myself to make it through. Overall, it‘s unique enough for a weak recommendation!
