Grindhelm's Key - Nick Moseley

October 7, 2019.
Requested by Graeme.

[Graeme]

Thanks Jenna, much appreciated.

[Laura]

in. :)

[Graeme]

Cool.

[Nick]

As usual I'll be loitering around the thread in case anyone has a question for the author...

;-)

[Graeme]

Read the 1st chapter.

I like Cled the druid. I hope we see more of him.

[Laura]

I'm running behind again. Had ti give a break to reading to finish setting up the logo for my blog, as well as do some refurbishing in a few of the Magic Book Corner's corners :D. Will try and get to these books ASAP.

[Graeme]

I'm a slow reader. You'll catch up for sure.

[Tammie]

I finally am able to read one of these pretty much on time! I'm liking the first chapter and really glad to see Cled is back. (view spoiler)[ I knew that was Oscar in his coat pocket, haha. I'm loving Oscar as a cute orange kitten. (hide spoiler)]

Who doesn't love a bit of Cled?

;-)

[Graeme]

31% in.

Finally, Trev's social life might be turning up. (view spoiler)[He's off to a party on Saturday night as a werewolf's plus one. (hide spoiler)]

I loved that part. 😂

[Tammie]

I finished this a few days ago and I liked it better than the previous book. It was good fun, and I read it really quickly.

(view spoiler)[ I was pleased at the revelations about Sarah and the Eyes of Nona, and that we got more info on Nona and even a bit more info on Oscar. When the cat appeared as the big bad boss it just cracked me up. Thinking about all those big bad people taking orders from a cat was pretty funny.

Traveling to the other dimension was interesting. I would love to see more of the other dimensions.

Jack was a creepy good character, and Barker is becoming a favorite. I loved every chapter he was in.

I'm glad Trev has finally made a decision about joining the custodians. (hide spoiler)]

[Graeme]

That's great Tammie.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Tammie! :-)

[Graeme]

I haven't reached the Pax party yet... Got a lot on at the moment and not reading as much.

Slow and steady wins the race!

(I can't help but feel that the person who came up with that phrase had never been in - or even seen - a race...)

[Laura]

I'm starting this tonight. Late to the party as usual but hey, better late than never, right? :D

[Laura]

Up to chapter 4 and I burst out laughing at the (view spoiler)[elemental possibly working it out that it could just sit on him while he was underneath it. (hide spoiler)]

Nice way to start. I needed a light and funny read after all that dark fantasy I've been reading these days. This is perfect.

And what's a pillock?

[Graeme]

Hi Laura, welcome to the buddy read. I'm at chapter 30. Still a long way to go.

A pillock is basically an idiot, fool, simpleton, etc

[Daniel]

Finally got around to starting this one. Never any bloody time to read!! I am liking this better than the third book-up to chapter 12.

[Daniel]

Starting chapter 18
(view spoiler)[so I like the whole Bad Trev alter persona. Trev himself seems to be growing up some, a bit less childlike, and more responsible. Sarah being with Ezekiel Barker-unknown as to why at the moment-was unforeseen. Of course, the whole working for another secret agency, should have been a clue I guess. This book has more of a story than Spectre’s Rest. Looking forward to what comes next! (hide spoiler)]

[Graeme]

Hi Daniel, great too see you here.

You have a lot of things eating into your reading time?

[Graeme]

Finished this book last night.

Loved it.

The ending is great.

[Daniel]

Spent the last three months trying to get a storefront bbq biz going. Decided to just continue on with part time catering instead. Dreams are weird, sometimes your most fervent dream can become a bloody nightmare!! Lol, that didn’t happen, but it was close. Will be back to a somewhat normal life and schedule as of now.

[Daniel]

Nice pun Graeme!!

[Graeme]

Yes, well, I know you're a foodie. :-).

Well, at least you know now and won't be wondering about it.

It’s an excellent point Sir.

[Daniel]

Chapter 35 78%
(view spoiler)[So the alternate reality thing was pretty interesting. Sarah booting Trev for Ezekiel was hilarious-he is now officially more deadly to be around than a psychotic mass murderer. Tho Barker comes off as much more sympathetic in this book so far. Things are heating up between Good/Bad Trev. Will be a fun finish (hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure what the dictionary definition is, but I see one every time I look in the mirror...

Hmmm what a wanker...?

[ChrisP]

Five stars all the way. Don't know what I have to say except I hope 2020 is a great writing year for @Nick Mosely.

[ChrisP]

Also, @graeme thank you for inviting me to this buddy reads. You have impeccable taste. I have added your book to my 2020 goal list. If you ever do a buddy read like this again please invite me.

[Graeme]

Hi Chris, glad you enjoyed it. Nick's the best 'unknown,' writer I know of.

[Graeme]

Yes, of course, If I can find anymore gems, I'll run a BR.

P.s. Thanks for shelving my book.

[ChrisP]

I wish I could make people read this book series. I seriously highly recommended to my groups. I mention this again because I've recently read some bad books that has more ratings than these books.

There are three book series I wish everyone will read:

Wheel of Time
The Expanse
Brackenford Cycle

[Graeme]

Hi Chris, agree on all points.

Mate, I couldn't agree with you more.

If you find out a way to do it, would you let me know please?

:)

Am I also the only unknown writer you know of?

Even so, a default win is still a win!

;)

[Graeme]

Hi Nick, 'unknown,' like me... :-).
