I just finished Rick Riordan’s Daughter of the Deep - it was really enjoyable. While I doubt the twist is super hard to predict if you try, it really caught me off guard.
I’m about to start the second book in Cinda Williams Chima’s Runestone Saga, Bane of Asgard. I really loved the first one, and am quite excited to dig into the next.
Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan. I’ve read most of Riordan’s other books (really need to catch up on the last few Percy Jackson related books), and I’m always head over heels for the way he takes existing myth and recasts it into a fun story that still plumbs the depths of the source material. This one is essentially “unknown to the wider world, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was based on actual events; what is the fall out of that today?” I’ve never read 20,000 Leagues, but I might have to do so after I finish this.
Yeah, me too. To make things worse, I had it spilled for me by accident. I went 5 years without spoilers, but as I was starting the book I decided to look at what was happening with next books, and someone in the comments of the thread I found was grumbling and just dropped that fact. I was quite distraught.
I just finished Battle Ground by Jim Butcher - the latest of the Dresden Files. It was my first read of it, and wow was it a doozy. I really enjoyed it, but it’s probably going to take me a few days to really digest it all.
I’m thinking my next book will be Children of Ragnarok, by Cinda Williams Chima. It’s the first in a new series from an author I’ve been reading for quite a while. I really enjoyed her previous YA fantasy series - the Heir Chronicles, the Seven Realms and the Shattered Realms - and I’m pretty excited to get into yet another one.
Nook Glowlight 3, which I’ve had since release in 2017
I had such high hopes for Barnes and Noble’s e-readers - they were super well positioned to dominate the market, but instead decided to make half-assed tablets. It was soul crushing
