Finished Touch of Power.

Bill | 337 comments I’m going to start Rift War in September and do Empire after. Really looking forward to it have heard nothing but good things about Empire.

Finished Scent of Magic.

Janette | 211 comments Empire is an amazing trilogy especially the first one which has to be one of my all time favourite books

I'd suggest reading both Magician books (or 1 book in some cases) then the Empire trilogy & then other two Rift War books. I think the story works better that way. Less spoilers & better story flow. I really liked the Rift War books, but I think the Empire trilogy is even better.

Bill | 337 comments Oh good. I have the first two riftwar books and empire but haven't bought books 3 and 4 yet.


message 107: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments The first Empire book works relatively well as a standalone -- it overlaps events from the first Riftwar book, but those events are all happening offstage in the background, and if you don't understand all of the specific references, you're not missing much.

The second & third books do tie in more tightly to the original Riftwar trilogy, with one or more (not sure; been a long time since I read them) major Riftwar characters having more time on stage. I don't remember exactly how the timeline crosses over between the two series, but would be shocked if someone hasn't put something together out there.

To me The Empire Series was the best. I was completely shocked at how good it was and was wondering why had I not read this one years ago.

Finished Taste of Darkness to finish the Healer Series. I really enjoyed it. Next I'm going to finish the Powder Mage Trilogy after I work on some of my other challenges.

You're going to finish all your planned series way before the end of the year, at the rate you're reading!

Finished The Crimson Campaign. What a great story, now on to The Autumn Republic. I'm really loving this series.

Virginie | 898 comments Mod
There's a following trilogy being published, and according to the reviews, it's as good as Powder Mage :)

I really want to read Powder Mage in 2019. Good to know you're enjoying it :)


message 116: by Tnkw01 (new)

Tnkw01 | 2293 comments Mod
Yea, I might have to continue with the next one......when it's finished.


message 117: by Virginie, Meow. (new)

Virginie | 898 comments Mod
Haha :) I'm trying to finish all my current series by the end of 2018. I'll try to start only mostly completed series after that :)


message 118: by Janette (new)

Janette | 211 comments I really like the new Powder Mage trilogy and am eagerly waiting for the next part

Great series, The Burning White is suppose to be out in September, 2019.

Janette | 211 comments I really miss the days when authors wrote trilogies that actually came to some kind of resolution 😳

Finish Shadow's Edge. It actually was better than The Way of Shadows. Now on to finish Beyond the Shadows and all my challenges for the year.

Well done! One more book and you're free :p

I'm looking forward to see which series you'll try to complete next year :D


message 133: by Tnkw01 (new)

Tnkw01 | 2293 comments Mod
I'll just say some have not been mentioned on the FBC, that I can remember. One of them has to do with inter-dimensional travel. That's all I'm saying at this time.

Virginie | 898 comments Mod
Oooh, a succinct teaser! I'm excited for next year ;)

I stopped updating my series challenge in this group 'cause I already have a thread for it in another group but... I'm toying with a few ideas to resurrect my thread :)

You have such focus on these challenges!

Catching up: I loved Rift War etc - I really must reread them.

I have the Snyder books but I've never read any, they were a kindle daily deal.


message 137: by Tnkw01 (new)

Tnkw01 | 2293 comments Mod
Thanks everyone. Helen, I really tried to pick books I really wanted to read for my challenges this year so it made it easy. I'm going to do the same thing next year.


message 138: by Tnkw01 (new)

Tnkw01 | 2293 comments Mod
I'm done! No more challenges this year. I'm going to read like a free spirit.

Yes, the Rift War was good but the Empire Trilogy was even better. I wish Janny would write some more for this world.
