Buddy Read: A Drop of Corruption (tag your spoilers)

[Oleksandr]

We plan to start late April or early May, but join and post any time

[Rebecca]

Thank you Acorn, I started this in late April and am about 23% into at this point. I like being back in the world and with these characters, but I haven't been pulled into the story itself yet. I think I'm getting to the good bits now, post all the lead in stuff, so perhaps this will change for me soon.

Excited to hear others' thoughts!

[Oleksandr]

I plan to get to the book next week, but you know me, I read (listen actually) fast, I'll catch up

[Rachel]

I have two books ahead of it but at least neither are giant Tomes (aka not another Tchaikovsky or Sanderson)

[Kateblue]

I have a copy on my kindle, but I am reading two Schaefers first (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) and then Dinner At Deviant's Place. THEN I can start this. I also have two other in this group, but think this should be first

[Allan]

Alas, this one is on a looonnnggg library hold, 23 weeks! I won't be able to join in this time frame but I hope to get it before the year is out.

[Oleksandr]

I've started it and already at 1/4. It is good and there is a possible third character for our duo

The intro before the story, which infodumps main characters sounds a bit like a superhero series intro from radio era

[Rebecca]

Yay, I’m around the 50% mark and loving the character dynamics. The plot was a bit all over the place at the start but things coalesced for me and it’s loads of fun.

What do you think about a new character, Malo? I hope she'll join our couple for future volumes

[Oleksandr]

@48% (view spoiler)[it is just 1/2 of the story and we already seem to know a motive, a perpetrator, their unique ability. Will the rest of the book be just a chase after them? I hope not (hide spoiler)]

[Oleksandr]

@Ch 31 (around 53%) (view spoiler)[King's death ups the ante! (hide spoiler)]

[Oleksandr]

I finished it this morning. It was very good, I think it'll be my next year Hugo nominee

[Kateblue]

Great!

[Rebecca]

You are fast!! 😂 Great to hear it’s lived up to expectations. I’m really enjoying it now but eye reading slowly in the evenings.

[Rebecca]

Finished it, loved it, was a 4⭐️until the end pushed it up to 5⭐️. Will add more once at my computer.

I liked it too, but in another group some readers said it was boring, which surprised me - I loved all parts of it

[Kateblue]

Still have not started, but I note that some friends in another group were unhappy with it. So I am hoping I like it as much as you guys seem to, but no promises

[Rachel]

I purchased it AND my library hold came in! So I’ll be starting as soon as The Tomb of Dragons is finished

[Rachel]

Oop I’m over halfway through and forgot to coMe here yet. But maybe I’ll just finish and then read through all and respond

[Kateblue]

I am sorry that I am so behind. I hope to get to this during June after I read about six other books . . .

[Rebecca]

No rush at all, just excited to hear your thoughts. I like being reminded of past reads in that way.
