Kate, I belong to a fantasy group let me know by IM if you would like to join us. We are cutting our membership and being selective about who we let in
Now this sounds just about perfect for the upcoming Christmas holidays - lazing on the beach with a good epic fantasy is one definition of heaven, I think …
Does sound heavenly to me Kate😁
Bought it on ebook. Now the trick will be whether I can wait to start it until I am actually on the plane to New Caledonia or not … Will let you know 🤣
haha! I doubt there will be a lack of books for the trip-

My first by Django Wexler and it won't be my last,
An Epic war fantasy with wonderful characters (read as: "strong women") and a writer who knows his business.
The story involves a troop of soldiers banished to the mediocre land of Vordanai, where their only job is protecting a puppet prince on the throne.
Until the populace rebels. Enter a new colonel, with ideas no one can understand, two soldiers, one an officer the other a mere ranker. As things get shaken up, the story builds, and we meet other characters who leave a great impression on the reader. At times it is difficult to take a side and stick with it. The ending and cliff-hanger ensure I will read the 2nd book in the series, sooner rather than later.
This would have been a 5 star read for me, had the author taken a break from battle during the first section of the book. it literally (pun intended) wore me down to the point of exhaustion. However, a great beginning to what I hope will become a favorite series.
