Jackson-Bennett - Foundryside [June 4, 2019]

[Charlie]

Up to chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ Gregor is dead! I don't understand why Estelle would kill him, she was supposed to work with Orso.

And poor Sancia, now a captive of Ziani, I can't imagine he has good things planned for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Charlie]

Up to chapter 33!! I can barely contain myself! (view spoiler)[

What the hell has happened to Sancia?! She was already weird and now she seems a bit unhinged. I'm scared for the city. (hide spoiler)]

[Daniel]

You go girl.....😂😂

[Charlie]

I'm scared to continue, they've all lost their damn minds!

[Charlie]

Up to chapter 35 (view spoiler)[

They have all lost their minds! I repeat, they have all lost their minds! Breaking back in is not a good idea. They need to board a ship and run run run. (hide spoiler)]

[Charlie]

I'm finished!!! (view spoiler)[ Foundryside Limited is going to be amazing. Orso really is a genius!

But poor Clef, I hope they can bring him back, he's my favourite character. (hide spoiler)]

[Daniel]

So overall, what did you think? I thought it was one of the best books I have read all year.

I completely agree! The magic system was just excellent and had a very Sanderson feel to it. I also loved the characters and the world building.

Also, any book with a talking magical object immediately get points for me.

I'll absolutely be continuing with the series in the future.

Am I the only one here who's rating this a 4.5 stars?
It was great. I agree. But it did take a little time to get into. A very small thing really and it did compensate beautifully later on.

I loved the characters and the scriving is perhaps one of the most original magic systems/methods I've ever read. I loved the idea of owned human that Sancia was trying to get out of her head. And I loved Clef. Though Orso came a close second.
I'm also looking forward to the sequel.

[Daniel]

No I only gave it four stars. It could go up to five depending on how the whole series goes. But I had some small issues as well.

[Daniel]

My other comment was about Transformation so I deleted it.

[Charlie]

Even though I had issues at the very beginning with the writing, it got so much better that I forgot all about the rocky start and I was so immersed in the story that I gave it 5 stars.
