June 2024 The Shadow of the Torturer - no spoilers, please

[Oleksandr, a.k.a. Acorn]

I plan to continue, but unsure when: I try to read more of the books on which I'm behind my yearly plans (Ukrainian and non-fic) plus rushing Polish novels - I try to participate in their Hugo award version and this year one of the nominees is the 7th final volume of a series (3 other books of the series were previously nominated as well), and each volume is about 20 hrs on audio (and I'm yet to understand it at 2x, so they last longer for me). Therefore, I guess I get to this series in October

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I'm going to continue, but not for a few months.

[Allan]

I’m about 30% into The Sword of the Lictor. It’s the shortest book of the series and it’s moving along quicker than the other books. Oh, and it has monsters!

[Allan]

Finished The Sword of the Lictor. It's the shortest book, and a little more accessible than the first two, a little more action, a little less philosophizing, so it moves along more quickly. So far the best of the series for me.

[Stephen]

I haven’t started it yet; August has been a weird month.

[Stephen]

I finished The Sword of the Lictor earlier this week. I think it feels like the story is coming together and moving toward an ending. I’ll start The Citadel of the Autarch soon.

Good for you all for continuing. I probably won't, at this point I would have to read the first one over and I didn't love it that much.

does anybody have a good website for summaries of books in any series? Or of any books? With series, I forget before the next book comes out, and I usually quit 4 or 5 books in. It would be helpful to be able to read "The road so far . . . " (For those of you who don't know, this is a Supernatural reference)

[Stephen]

Before I started The Sword of the Lictor, I found a useful plot summary of the previous volume (The Claw of the Conciliator) in the Wikipedia entry on the novel.

I would never have thought of Wikipedia, but I bet there are lots there. Thanks!
