It's sad to find a book that I know would have really enjoyed, hadn't the reading experience been ruined by the prose. The novel itself is a solid fantasy story, and hits quite a few tropes and arguments that I enjoy. I expected to have fun with it, but sadly I found the writing too confusing to...
The priests' lesson: beware the Nightlord, for his pleasure is a mortal's doom. My grandmother's lesson: beware love, especially with the wrong man.(20%) I really enjoyed this which isn't hard to believe because I devoured it in 24 hours. The worldbuilding is well done (even if I was confused at som...
Ich habe mir in den Kopf gesetzt, häufiger weibliche, erwachsene High Fantasy zu lesen. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass Frauen dieses Genres in meinem Regal völlig unterrepräsentiert sind. Gefühlt stammen alle großen HF-Romane von Männern: „Der Herr der Ringe“, „A Song of Ice and Fire“, „Das Spiel der Göt...
Sometimes you read a book--or I do at least--and then have no idea how you feel about it. This is one of those. So I let it sit for a month or so before reviewing, and... I think I really liked it. So short plot summary: Shortly after the death of her mother, Yeine is called by the grandfather sh...
Deeply interesting read, I enjoyed it, and I could see where it's not to everyone's taste. When Yeine is called from her homeland to the vicious court of her mother's family, she's declared a potential heir, but the politics are complicated and might just kill her. As she gets more involved she di...
“I could tell already that I was going to become very, very sick of being compared to a goddess.” Mm. Started well, dipped in the middle, rallied at the end but then I suspect I’m not the ideal reader for this. This is slightly better written than usual pulp romantic fantasy with a welcome female ga...
I have to admit that I've resisted this book for a good two years. It was highly recommended by many people in many places, but the problem I had - being a stubborn sort - was that I was always being told that I MUST read this if I wanted to support diverse reading and diverse authors. *SIGH* I w...
I picked this series up when I was incredibly frustrated at my inability to find fiction that kept my attention. This kept my attention- I read most of it in one sitting, and had to be yelled at to go to sleep. The bit where the character is telling you the story isn't abused-- normally that kind of...
This book had a lot of hype when it was first released, followed by a backlash that seemed primarily motivated by the fact there is romance in it. Now that I’ve gotten around to reading this, I did not enjoy it, but that had less to do with the fact that the protagonist hooks up with a dark god than...
