Joe Kessler is 74% done with The Fifth Season

Called it. These three different storylines were way too isolated from one another to all be taking place on the same timeframe.

Siege and Storm (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #2)

Joe Kessler is starting The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. (D.O.D.O., #1)

This story is about time-travel and magic, and the main character is an underpaid linguistics lecturer. I love it already!

Joe Kessler is 23% done with The Drawing of the Three (The Dark Tower, #2)

"No, sugar was not cocaine, but Roland could not understand why anyone would want cocaine or any other illegal drug, for that matter, in a world where such a powerful one as sugar was so plentiful and cheap." I feel this. Right there with you, gunslinger.

Joe Kessler is 27% done with Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #2)

And now we've got stereotypical portrayals of Romani complete with the g-word. Great.

Joe Kessler is 6% done with Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #2)

Literally all I want from this story is more time travel and an acknowledgement of how messed-up the last book’s romance was. So far I’m seeing little sign of either.

Joe Kessler is 18% done with Ten Thousand Skies Above You (Firebird, #2)

Okay, the age difference here (20-year-old dating an 18-year-old) isn't too awful. But it's really weird that he's a wunderkind finishing up his PhD and looking at postdoc opportunities while she's only now applying to college. Those are very different life stages.

Ten Thousand Skies Above You (Firebird, #2)

Joe Kessler is on page 303 of 836 of Nightmares and Dreamscapes

In honor of Stephen King's 70th birthday, I think I read 200 pages or so of this today.

Joe Kessler is 45% done with Royal Assassin (Farseer Trilogy, #2)

"I have seen the end of the world, Fitz. Seen it woven as plainly as I've seen my birth. Oh, not in your lifetime, nor even mine. But shall we be happy to say that we live in the dusk rather than in the full night? Shall we rejoice that we shall only suffer while your offspring will be the ones to know the torments of the damned? Shall this be why we do not act?"

I forgot how much I love Nighteyes the wolf. I'm not entirely sure Fitz deserves him, but the boy definitely needs him.

Joe Kessler is 10% done with Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

Didn't get very far in this before it was due back to the library. Guess I'll try again in another month or so.

Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

Joe Kessler is 78% done with Heir of Sea and Fire (Riddle-Master, #2)

"I would be that for you, if I could," she cried. "I would be mute, beautiful, changeless as the earth of An for you. I would be your memory, without age, always innocent, always waiting in the King's white house at Anuin -- I would do that for you and for no other man in the realm. But it would be a lie, and I will do anything but lie to you."
