Very glad I picked up this trilogy. I haven't read any Abercrombie before, but I'd heard about this series from a few places, and now I'm already 2/3rds through the original trilogy (Plus a few chapters of book 3)! Very enjoyable so far -dark, filled with interesting & intense characters. Perhaps less good on the story side and the worldbuilding is slow and fairly generic. But the character's descriptions and thoughts have definitely been enough to keep me reading.
  • The Blade Itself (The First Law Trilogy #1) - Joe Abercrombie

I got delayed with my post again, but on the plus side, I've finally finished Midnight Tides after about a month or so? I found it difficult to get through the first time round as well, so that came as no surprise.
I also began the Shattered Reals - Sequel series to Chima's Seven Realms series, and so far it's all in very good shape. Different enough from the original series to be interesting, while still clearly located in the same world, but following a new generation of characters.

  • Midnight Tides (Malazan Book of the Fallen #5) - Steven Erikson [Reread]
  • Flamecaster (Shattered Realms #1) - Cinda Williams Chima

Incredibly slow going on Midnight Tides, I'm afraid to say. I'm almost at the home run stage to finish it though! Then I'll be onto a few other books first before heading to The Bonehunters (Malazan #6). Exciting Stuff.

The end of one trilogy, the start of another? Except only the first book in the Unearthed series is actually out so far and while it was fun, there wasn't quite as much substance to it as I would have liked. Ah well, back to the wonderful world of Malazan then!


  • StarMan (The Axis Trilogy #3) - Sara Douglass
  • Unearthed (Unearthed #1) - Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

Obsidio: a brilliant sequel and finale to what is now one of my favourite trilogies and for sure my favourite YA Sci Fi series (Though I'll admit I haven't read very many at all). Can't wait to see what Kaufman & Kristoff get up to next.
Norse Mythology: a bit disappointing, a bit too much biblical style writing and not quite enough fleshing out the stories which is what I thought it would be like.

  • Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) - Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
  • Norse Mythology - Neil Gaiman
Currently Reading:
StarMan (The Axis Trilogy #3) - Sara Douglass
