    I recommend that you read the Abercrombie books in order (I believe there are spoilers if you skip ahead but I may be wrong since it’s been a few years since I’ve read those books).
    I’m currently reading The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay and I’m loving it. My favorite book for August will probably be the same book (Al-Rassan).
    For September, I plan on reading House of Chains by Erikson and then I’ll dive back into sci-fi and read Iron Gold by Brown.

    August is Abercrombie month for me, I literally finished BSC, Heroes and Red Country in last 10 days so I can safely tell you to read them in the right order! 🙂There are recurring characters throughout the standalones so if you read them out of order, you'll be faced with spoilers for those characters. Also minor spoilers for general plot development from other books do occur.

    Hi there Dylan. My name is Julie. It's nice to meet you. I'm happy that you were able to stick to your tbr plan. I, however, am such a mood reader, that I find it very hard to do that. I get distracted by other books quite easily. Right now, I am only 2 and a half hours away from finishing listening to the Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson, after months of listening to it and then getting distracted by other books. I have also started reading while listening to Tress of the Emerald Sea and the Silverblood Promise. I am hoping that sometime this year, I can start reading while listening to the Storm light Archive for the first time. That is, unless I wind up getting pulled into reading while listening to the Apothecary Diaries light novels or a Star Wars book.

    • @QRM00
      @QRM00 3 месяца назад +1

      @SpacedOutWizard Yeah thats fair. Memories of Ice shouldn't be too daunting. It's the first book in the series where a large chunk of the cast are returning characters. There are a few new perspectives in the book that are pretty important (Korlat, Silverfox, Picker, Gruntle, Itkovian, and The Mhybe). But there are also a ton of returning perspectives like Quick Ben, Ganoes Paran, Whiskeyjack, Kruppe, Tool, and Coll (along with a dozen recognizable side characters).
      One thing that has helped me throughout the series is that I read the start of every Malazan novel pretty slowly to try to remember who everyone is and who they are connected to. Most chapters throughout the series typically have 2-4 perspective characters and usually they will have 2-4 scenes in that chapter leading up to a climactic moment (it could be leading up to a reveal, setting a plan into motion, a big fight, a tragic scene, or a punchline to a joke). By the time I hit Book 2, I find my rhythm and it becomes a lot easier to read.

    I knew you'd love Royal Assassin! The third book is somewhat divisive, and I understand why. It's longer than the first two and a little slower imo, but the character work is still just as enthralling. The first and last 50 pages are some if the most emotional I've ever gotten in a book. It's only slightly less good then book 2!
    I'm planning to jump into Liveship next month, along with Dagger and the Coin. I probably won't finish either next month, as I'm planning to get into Discworld and Blake Crouch, but I'm sure I'll love them.
