Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time


I’m so, so glad I got back into Robin Hobb’s books. Totally worth it.

It’s been a few weeks now* and I’m still trying to wrap my head around how much this book ensorcelled me, and how weird that felt after my (mostly) negative experience with the first Fitz trilogy a handful of years back. I suppose I should have seen this coming, though, with how much I loved The Liveship Traders, but a lot of things I didn’t like about the first Fitz trilogy were actually addressed here, and I’m sure there’s a bit of me in this […]

This book does what it wants. I kept trying to read it faster than it wanted me to read it, and it took me twice as long as I thought it would.

The Spanish Inquisition. 3. To three-star most of this series. This is one of those series (and authors) people have been recommending to me for yearrrrs now. And many of them have done so while telling me it’s […]
