Series: Craft Sequence #2 This second installment in the craft sequence wasn’t nearly as interesting as the first. I think I just wasn’t very interested in Caleb as a character and I thought his infatuation with Mal was silly. And I kept thinking that it was awfully convenient the way things were ...
There's a lengthy article on the pro's and con's of reading the Craft Sequence in chronological vs published order that I should probably care about. I've got an omnibus edition that put them in publication order, though, so that's what I'm doing. A rather underwhelming follow up to the excellent ...
Two Serpents Rise by Mark Gladstone My GR friends' ratings of Two Serpents Rise are all over the place, and I can see why. For me, the worldbuilding, the ideas, the questions, the pure conceptual brilliance not only saved the book but made it memorable. However, while the setup was promising, the ...

Ich hinke mit meinen Buchberichten ziemlich hinterher, daher gibt es heute mal eine Zusammenfassung der letzten drei Romane die ich zu Ende gelesen habe. Dazwischen waren auch wieder ein paar die ich frustriert abgebrochen habe, aber dazu vielleicht später mal mehr. ;)1. Two Serpents Rise von Max Gl...
Sometimes there are books that I want to re-read, almost from the first minute after turning the last page. Gladstone’s first novel Three Parts Dead was one of those select few. One of the more original fantasies I had read last year, it easily made my “Top Reads” list. So it was with some surprise ...
