The Fitzalong #1: Assassin’s Apprentice
Robin Hobb and her The Realm of the Elderlings are names that I hear and see very often as a fantasy reader. If you do anything online with reading, it is almost impossible to avoid these books or to not witness legions of fans speaking enthusiastically about the trauma this series caused them. Given the immense popularity of these books,…

First Law Along #7: Sharp Ends
While I was almost too late for the live show discussion of the previous book, I finished this one well on time! The show for this book was originally scheduled for February 11, but due to the overcrowded agenda of organizer Becca it was postponed by a month to March 11. Still, I decided to read it right away at…

First Law Along #6: Red Country
The First Law Along readathon continues in 2024. This sixth book in the series was scheduled for November/December last year, but I procrastinated on it and only read it in January. Still, in time for the discussion in the live show of January 14, but this of course caused me to postpone writing and publishing my review, since I was…

First Law Along #5: The Heroes
With this second phase of the FirstLawAlong I feel less urgency to read on, since the next books are only marginally interlinked and can mainly be read as standalone books, albeit in the same world as the original trilogy with cameos from characters we’ve met before. It was a bit difficult to motivate myself to read this second standalone novel…

October TBR: Becca’s Spookoplathon 2023
Ever since 2020, I have been participating in Becca‘s monthlong readathon based on the well-known Monopoly board game. For this purpose, Becca makes her own version of the Monopoly board, specifically for picking the books you will read that month. This year, however, there was no September bookoplathon announcement, which was to be expected given Becca’s busy schedule for September.…

The next phase of the FirstLawAlong has commenced! After finishing the finale of the first trilogy in June, we are now continuing on with a series of standalone stories in the same world.

First Law Along #3: Last Argument of Kings
After finishing Before They Are Hanged I just couldn’t wait to continue with this series. According to the schedule of the First Law Along readathon the third book is to be read by the end of June, but I already finished it in April. Since this is the third book of the first First Law trilogie, it’s quite possible that…

First Law Along #2: Before They Are Hanged
Tonight is the live show for the second book in the First Law Along readathon. If you don’t know what this is, I talked about this earlier in my Readathons for 2023 post and also in the first update made for this readathon, but in short the plan for this readathon is to read one book from Joe Abercrombie‘s First…
