Michael Smith is 37% done with The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1)

I am loving my current reread of Memory, Sorrow And Thorn and the mighty promising Of Empires And Dust by Ryan Cahill, but those are HUGE epic tomes. I needed a little breather, and a revisit to Camp Half Blood was just what the doctor ordered! A classic of my childhood, and twenty years later I think I only love it more.

Michael Smith is 10% done with Of Empires and Dust (The Bound and The Broken, #4)

This book just keeps on getting better! I am over 160 pages in, and still only a short way into the overall book. I am so glad about that! Big books are my favourite when written well, and this is a fine example of just that.

I am 5% into this, and already I feel Cahill is writing at an even higher level. The emotional tone of the scenes so far feels tangible, like I can smell and hear and see everything. Just SUPERB writing.

How am I only 5% in and already gutted I won't have a new book for a while?

If there is one thing to really take me out of a fantasy book not set in our world, it is a description like the one I found here, "eldritch gods". Errr, Cahill? You realise it is very odd to liken any part of your lore directly to that of another authors, in this case H.P. Lovecraft? I am shocked the editor, Sarah Chorn, let that pass!

Michael Smith is 95% done with War and Remembrance (The Henry Family, #2)

Reading about a character I have come to love and admire and feel I know as a friend die unceremoniously in a gas chamber...has numbed me.
