Been working my way through the Malazan books again (1, 3, 2, 4) and so far House of Chains (4) could possibly be a starting point. The character knows little of the rest of the world and the action is in parallel to the first three. I’m not even certain how it connects together with the overall take yet.

I do plan on reading book 6 before 5, since I know that one takes place before any of them.

BRIGHT, VIVID TALE of two Nigerian girls touched by the spirit world, driven toward each other by different destinies. Gorgeously written, with a brilliant kaleidoscope of detail. B PLUS

    Pssst! Want books? How about sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books where the main character is quite happily single?

    Last two weeks I have had kind of Cassandra Clare maraton. I read The Mortal Instruments 1-6 and The Dark Artifices 1-3.

    My opinions will be above.

    @bookstodon


    was good enough to hold my interest. It wasn't best one I have read, no eather worst one. There were times when I really enjoyed reading and times, when I was just thinking oh my, how awkward. Unfortunately the Netflix-serie was strongly in my mind influencing my reading experience. I actually hoped I hadn't seen the show (even thought I lived it).

    Omom4075 OP ,
    @Omom4075@mastodon.world avatar

    @bookstodon was way better. I loved characters and plot was more interesting. Of course one reason could be that I didn't know what was going to happen.
    But I didn't like everything. In the end the problem of the Nephilim and the Parabats was not resolved nicely. I think there were too big holes in the final result, how closure were built. This was reason I wouldn't give 5 stars.

    However despite the criticism, I loved the trilogy and hope the next trilogy comes out soon.

    I read Blood Mark JP McLean last year, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would absolutely recommend!

    Dropped a new excerpt from my free webnovel, Below the Heavens - JiangXi!

    I decided to do a mood board just for fun!

    Below the Heavens is a high fantasy web novel series featuring a quick witted protagonist and a world and magic system crafted from scratch, incorporating east Asian culture and influences.

    This indie novel is available for free on Royal Road via the web browser (link in my bio) or their app! Also available on Scribblehub, and I have a Patreon as well where you can read ahead on a sizeable portion of content!

    I've finished: Relight My Fire by C.K. McDonnell.

    After taking a darker turn in Love Will Tear Us Apart, Relight My Fire returns to the all-out comedy horror clown show that is The Stranger Times series.

    This time around we get a finale with some Naked Gun vibes.

    Bon, finalement je vais opter pour un style hachuré aussi pour la/les cartes de mon monde d'Eldoran. Il me semble que j'ai chopé le coup de patte pour cette échelle aussi.

    I think I will finally opt for a hatched style for my Eldoran world map(s). Looks like I eventually catched it for this scale too.
