Pines (Wayward Pines, #1)

David Sven
David Sven is 5% done with The Vagrant
Grabbed this on Audible - Never heard of the narrator Jot Davies - but he seems good so far.
When I cam across Doctor Zero, I thought I was back in "Borderlands" - The landscape has that feel - but with a touch of "Magic the Gathering" - Perhaps the author was a gamer.

I was going to start on some Daniel Abraham next - but there's a bit of a wait at the Library - Hopefully I'll be done with this when the other is ready

David Sven is 34% done with The Red Knight (The Traitor Son Cycle, #1)
I really like the individual elements - Knights, magic nuns, wyverns etc etc. But I haven't connected with the story yet. Maybe because the same Ser Knight is masquerading as multiple POV's.
I want to like it more so I'll persist a little longer

Its in need of a goodly amount of editing but I'm still sticking with it. It's set in an alternate medieval earth - with knights and nuns...who do magic.

10% in and there's like at least 8 POVs already - maybe one more but I gave up counting. Reserving judgement so far because 2 of the POVs interest me - being the Red Knight and Thorn

This is turning into a pretty good book - as advertised - Abercrombie for young adults - plus violence. Ok lets just call it Abercrombie for teenage boys.

So far my thoughts are similar to most comments I've read about this book. Good but...it's not First Law.
It's a few fingers short of Nine Fingers.

Can't say I'm up with my Ancient Chinese politics, but Kay makes it sound authentic and interesting

Off to a good start. Liking the ancient China feel add malevolent ghosts and hints of mythical creatures. Very nice.

These books are good(so far). Not sure how to compare it with the first one - that was hard to beat

Loving the prose and the story - and of course, Edoardo Ballerini's narration is superb as ever.

And you, recumbent on my covers like a painter’s nude, grinning at me without intent on your piscine face, your neck wrapped all about with charms and bones, beckoning me politely, whose is the face you carry in your hand?
Whose head is that you have taken, to bring blood for me?
