I’m kind of aware that a plot is brewing in the background, but have been enjoying just meeting everyone, so I’m really hoping I haven’t missed anything vital so far. Lynn: Yes, I feel like I’ve totally fallen on my feet with this one already, I think, all things being equal I’m going to like Logen, but here’s the funny thing, I equally think I’m going to like the others – which is really weird considering one of them is a torturing so and so. As for Jezal, I’m enjoying laughing at him (especially now that we’ve encountered Ardee!). I think it’s the humour that makes Logen and Glokta kind of likeable even though evidence suggests they’re not. Mayri: And everything about this book grabs my attention! Logen’s frying-pan-to-fire beginning, our introduction to Glokta and his work, even Jezal’s utter shittiness.
Week 1 – The End to An Offer and a Gift (inclusive) The conversation below follows weeks 1 and 2: This time round I will be posting the opening chapters and Mayri will be posting the conclusion – so don’t forget to stop by and see our concluding thoughts.Īlso, before I start, I would mention that given the nature of our ongoing conversation during our read this post will contain spoilers so if you’re planning on reading this book you might want to avoid both posts. Similar to our previous buddy reads this review will take the form of our chat back and forth. This is now corrected though because I loved this and can’t wait to continue. Obviously it has rave reviews and loads of love – I sometimes think I’m simply afraid to be happy. All I can say – to myself that is – is what was I thinking leaving this so long before picking it up.
Slight spoiler alert – this book was brilliant. Our first buddy read was Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, our second A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab. If you haven’t visited Mayri before I heartily recommend you do so, she’s a wonderful blogger. This is my third buddy read with Mayri at the Bookforager blog. Today is another slightly different format for a review.
