LAST WEEK'S TMT

★★★★

(4.5)

After I got past the seemingly never-ending dragon "hatching" scene in the beginning the story was glorious! This was one of those books where after I was done, and next sat down to read, I was sad remembering I had finished. I know for sure I will be reading the rest of the dragon themed Rain Wild Chronicles, but the Liveship Traders element in this book didn't interest me much, and I don't care for stories about assassins, so this world arc maybe it for me and Hobb. Although I have no idea what the Tawny Man books are about. Have any of you read them?

★★★★

(4.5)

The reason this TMT is so late is I wanted to get the last book in the WINTERNIGHT TRILOGY finished. I don't even have my Goodreads review up yet, but ah, that ending, though, I had so much love for it! It also made me teary-eyed in a couple of places and that hardly ever happens to me. The second book is still my favorite because it was packed full of wonderfulness from beginning to end. As in the first book this end story had a scene that was way too long, full of repetitive images and elements. I have come across this in several different books lately. Have Fantasy authors started striving for a certain sized page count, or stretching out series that were originally intended to be duologies? I'm not sure I'm on board with having to pay for extraneous content that wants to be skim read, just so the author can publish a third book.

I was sent these two lovelies from MONTH9 BOOKS for my January Dragon Daze reading. I will be starting them later tonight. There is a recently published third book in the series I hope to have time for, also.

This story sounds atmospheric like the Diane Setterfield and Sarah Perry titles I have read and adored. It's my next ARC as I was only recently approved for it.

I am still intending to read my son's hardcover. It's only 125 pages, so I know I can slip it in this month, somewhere.

He finished RECKLESS (Mirror World #1) by Cornelia Funke today, and loved it, but he didn't want to start the next one and not be able to finish before school starts next Tuesday, so he's going to read the short illustrated Martin YA I gave him for Christmas. See my "next" above.
