Buddy read with @Branwen and @DaveGreen7777 💕💕 LOVE YOU BOTH!

This was an enjoyable Tolkien-inspired epic fantasy. I feel like I can't really rate it properly because the story is only just beginning!

Chosen one vibes, hordes of Trollocs, the classic struggle of good versus evil, local folks at the inn going feral for bangers played on the flute!

I liked it best when they reached the cities, or when Moiraine started kicking ass!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

DaveGreen7777 Awww, love you, too, Dr. Rae! 😊 I‘m so happy you buddy read this with us and got to experience the awesomeness of the Wheel of Time… as well as the awesomeness of Nynaeve and Moiraine! 😁 9h
RaeLovesToRead @DaveGreen7777 I promise I will do less slacking for book 2! I'm into it now! 😇 8h

This is the second book in the series, so the world building gets extended and elaborated, but it is mainly done to support the plot development. Recurrent secondary characters get more details and depth as well.

It's a rather typical hero journey set in a magical world. Two stories being told by the protagonist, Kai the demon: one from the current adventure trip to save friends and to unravel an intrigue and the one that happened about sixty years ago and actually set the scene for the current one.
The story is fast-pacing, the alternations between the past and the present are logical and well meshed.

What amazing world building! The story of El, a former slave and current courier, who encounters a Haunt who just so happens to be inhabiting the body of a prince. El is enlisted to help the Haunt and the prince solve a mystery threatening their empire.

This friendship-fueled whimsical adventure was everything I wished for, filled with breezy humor and clever banter.
This light-hearted, slice-of-life fantasy about new beginnings, second chances, and little mischief is always a joy to read.

Travis's narration makes these books come alive on a whole new level.

Hey, guys! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. I wanted to take a second to post my first book haul of 2026 even though I technically received these for Christmas. It‘s my blog I can make the rules up if I want to. 😂
Honestly,though, we‘ve been so busy I‘m just now getting to them. I‘m reading The Will of Many right now but what should I pick up next? Any suggestions?

TEArificbooks I have heard nothing but good things about Dungeon Crawler Carl. I would do that one but be prepared that you will probably want to run out and get the entire series before you finish book 1. 5d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I‘m about 25% into Dungeon Crawler Carl and it is hilarious and awesome. I may have (I did) ordered the rest of the series last weekend @TEArificbooks 🤣 (edited) 5d
CatMS Went to a new bookstore One In A Million and there was a display of the Dungeon Crawler series which I had never heard of till I saw the display and have been very curious pf since. 4d

wildwoodreads @TEArificbooks That‘s exactly what I‘m looking for. Definitely trying it next! 4d
wildwoodreads @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Hahaha that‘s a great recommendation then. 4d
wildwoodreads @CatMS My husband is reading it and loves it. It‘s a tad out of my comfort zone but I‘m really excited to try it 4d

Last but not least, December! The tagged book would have been among my favorites no matter what month it was read, but for this month it was no contest.

Inner Harbor was a page turner, and I appreciated the local setting, but the story was OTT.

The two anthologies were disappointing. I‘d started both previously (should have been a clue?) and wanted to clear them out by year-end. Blanket Cats was my #bookspin choice.

TheEllieMo I‘ve been looking at Travis Baldree‘s series for ages and finally just pencilled in Legends & Lattes for February 5d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5d

Here‘s my review for this book I finished reading at 4 AM. I was very tired yesterday from going out to lunch but I was ready to finish this book because it was sitting on my currently reading shelf on Goodreads for too long.

Here‘s my progress on the #realmofelderlings buddy read. I‘ve read Assassin‘s Apprentice and I just finished reading Royal Assassin. I‘m going to take a break from Fitz for a while by reading some other books and then when I‘m ready, I‘ll start reading Assassin‘s Quest.
