My book before I accidently bought the audible dramatised version and I couldn't follow it and finished having no idea what had happened. So I returned it and bought the regular version :o Meant it took me 3 weeks to read that book. lol
Anyway, I was not expecting the DV. Maybe I don't read synopsises very well! I was getting quite uncomfortable with reading it, but then we just moved forward 7 years so I am hopeful.....
So far I do really like the idea of the 3 names and how they actually make Cora a completely different person whereas I was move expecting the book to focus on him and his life and how it changed. Quite fascinating.
Anyway, I'll come back once I am further to read your DQs and respond


Love this writer and I really should have picked up this book 3 seven years ago! I had to use the robot to give me an update of the series so far and then I bought the dramatised audible version by accident. I couldn't follow it and got to the end and had no idea what had happened. So I returned it and started again on the regular version! Really enjoyed it and now have promised myself to get to book 4 really quickly :o


2,5-3 stars
This has been the weakest book of the series for me after book 1. After the epicness of Magic Breaks, it was trying way too hard..."
They are great books, but not on audio. Definitely a series that’s better to read the old fashioned way


the firs KD book I'm giving the full 5 stars since book 3 and the push I needed to pick up the next book pretty soon and not wait for years in-between.

Woohoo

MY MONTHLY RECOMMENDATION (and why):


Which took me a bit to get in to as it has been 11 years since I read book 1 😬 but I had ChatGPT give me an overview of book 1 as a refresher which really helped. Then I was really able to get taken away by the story - it is very fast paced and a good v evil storyline.
Apparently book 3 should be released this year. Hopefully!

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines.
We've all done a great job but also sad when another team challenge ends."
yes 7pm Sunday in Sydney. Here is the countdown link

Unfortunately, no. It is an individual cap
But Chava hasn't responded to us since she had her allergic reaction (we really hope she is ok!!) so the mods gave us an extra 4 books which we added to Richard's cap :)

I’m ok, thanks Elisabeth. Just navigating personal and business challenges which has me working 50 hours per week plus all the home stuff. I’m tired but otherwise ok.
I did do some updating of the spreadsheet before the weekend but I think a lot of books were added as read since ;) I can see Tina is in there now checking and sorting

That is somewhere I’d like to go someday. Once I get motivated to do a flight longer than 9 hours again lol

Nice!

Yes the cost is always a little surprising in those places 🤭 I went to a dairy in the Hunter Valley at Easter and bought some nice stuff - including marinated feta - but not something I could afford to do regularly!
