For me I think I want something A: not too long, B: lighter in tone, C: preferably with a helping of comedy or romance. Basically popcorn fantasy that I can eat by the handful."

Yup! Though there are some 'darker' books on my list, I was def thinking of something like Riyria would be great for a binge :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I've been reading Blade Itself for two weeks. I really like it, but I feel like my reading life is suffering because of it lol.

[Lena]

Finished ★★★★★

[Petrik]

I'm giving up on Malazan Empire. 25% through Return of the Crimson Guard and I would rather read Uprooted than continue through this piece of crap; just awful, clunky. Esslemont seems like he's trying to be like Erikson in this installment, which made his writing and storytelling even worse.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

😱😱😱 "would rather read Uprooted" 😂😂😂that's some serious shit right there, Petrik haha.

Nahh i just really dislike ICE prose. Uprooted sucks imo but Novik's prose was great!

Just brilliant storytelling, and beautiful art. Also, B-Rabbit was chopping onions like crazy, and I had a weird physical reaction: my eyes started watering. I wonder why... :p

Exactly! So many plot twists, and snippets of information perfectly delivered to make you see the whole thing in an entirely new light!

Yay! The Riyria series is amazing :D
Do you plan on reading Legends of the First Empire?

[Mel]

Yes, I'm definitely joining in on the Age of Myth BR! I enjoyed Revelations and Chronicles, so I'm excited there are more books to continue bingeing. In the meantime I'm palate-cleansing with some sci-fi. I've been meaning to read Ann Leckie's Provenance since I loved her Ancillary series.
