Argh. This is pretty good in terms of world-building but totally not engaging. Jumping to different characters too often or advancing several years on the main characters so you never get into it. And written in a very surface way. And it's some pretty harsh worlds and environments. Not what I need right now, I need enjoyment and comfort. Gonna switch to a trashy page-turner ;) and come back to this later.

I'm surprised how much I enjoy reading novels from the Blizzard universe! Starcraft especially coz I play it sooooo much! ;) Looking forward to this one. :)

Ida Jagaric is on page 18 of 86 of The Girlfriends / Prijateljice: A mini novel with vocabulary section for learners of Croatian (Croatian made easy)
Halfway through the 35 page novel part of the book! Over half is vocabulary which is great to have. Slow going and challenging but quite a decent story considering!

Oh boy it's good now! The first 200 pages sucked coz waaaayy too many characters and storylines (unnecessarily?) but now he's settled on a few and story's moving forward nicely. Like Erikson's, I find the book engaging enough for me to be eager to pick them up, but not so addictive I stay up all night! ;)

It's my first Esslemont book and he definitely writes similarly to Erikson. And I'm totally getting into it now :) that he's focusing on less storylines / characters. It's not a page-turner but I always can't wait to pick it up again. :)

Argh! I'm on page 156 which is substantially into the book and Esslemont is still introducing new characters! The next 30 pages are all new ones! I know that's the common complaint with Erikson's Malazan series but I don't feel he was this bad? I'm trying to motor through to get to parts that further some of the story lines he's started. sigh.

OMG I'm loving rereading this so much! I feel home! I love this world so much! Every aspect described feels so familiar and awesome! I intimately remember the world, how the Guild works, and I'm reminded how much Killashandra changes over the 3 books. She feels like such a real character to me as does the world. sigh :)))))

(ps. making a note for myself coz I can't seem to change it yet: started this book Aug 14)
