I'm in two minds on how I feel about the audiobooks for this series – having read book one and then listened to book two, I think I might revert to reading when it comes to book three, but we shall see. The narration slowly grew on me, but even when I was unsure, the epic scale of the plot still wowed me.
This was very unique and I completely adored the concept of the book. I will absolutely be needing the sequel, however, because I'm left feeling like I have more questions than I went in with!
A great conclusion to the first trilogy! This series covers so much time and it was great having this last book feature the next generation. I thought I'd be sad to not have Skan & Drake full front and centre, but I still really enjoyed all the perspectives in this instalment.
This series continues to please and be exciting! I am reading the Valdemar books mostly blind. I have no expectations and so no idea what to expect. It really surprised me that there was a 10-year gap between The Black Gryphon and The White Gryphon, however.
It's that time of the month! August has some really exciting titles coming out - and happily, I'm travelling to Edinburgh this month and will catch some of the Edinburgh Book Festival (I'll try to remember to take some pictures to share!) Let's take a look at what we can adorn our shelves with this month.
This was everything and more that I hoped it would be. Being my first (!) Mercedes Lackey book, I was apprehensive that this wouldn't live up to my ever-increasingly high expectations, but it so did. And here I am, 100% ready to commit to the whole Valdemar universe.
This was alright, but has sadly fallen into my not-quite-the-epic-story I'd hope for, that so often seems to happen with dragon books.
I gave this one a real hot go, but I just couldn't click with it. I'm sad that I couldn't get into it, though, because it seems like almost every review is a very enthusiastic 5 stars. But for me, this was dense, hard-going and lacked a plot that truly sucked me in.
It's that time again! Writing these posts has turned out to be quite lethal, because since getting back into scouring the web for upcoming releases, my bookshelves have had quite a few extra additions to them ... the pre-order game is strong, friends.
The epic conclusion to the Air Awakens series!
