This was my first grimdark novel and I fell in love with the characters I will continue with the series once I read some other books

First law is a great series.

Last Argument of Kings. Glotka and me would totally be crippled homies cutting off fingers and forcing confessions together.

If I were finished Deadhouse Gates yet it would be really tough to decide. But as it's consuming all my brain cells at the moment Abercrombie takes the win

It is a beautiful cover, very subtle

My favorite was Cursor's Furey by Jim Butcher. One of the best books I've ever read. I loved it!!

I also like the codex alera series I read the first 3 before I got burned out and couldn't continue I'll probably read the 4th book eventually
I think its the roman influences that got me liking it

I'm excited to continue on, although I'm trying to pace myself so I don't get burnt out too. Although considering I'm 14th in line for the next one at the library it'll be about 8 months to a year before I get ahold of it haha.

I read Cursor's Fury last month and thought it was good and I'm doing Captain's Fury now. They've both been much better than the first two books. Tavi has been way less whiny.

It's true, he did tend to whine a lot.

Shadows of Self. Loved it!

The Bands of Mourning

I'm still reading that one and I love it too!

Best book of the month was .

Derailed by school, but I'd have to say The Mirror’s Truth

My favorite for March was Dream Eater. It was a really good book based on Japanese Folklore.

Glad you liked that series as much as I have.

My favourite was the Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin!

Oooh!! I loved Fifth Season! I can't wait for Stone Sky in August. :)

I've not read GGK before and read Al-Rassan half in March and half in April and I almost chose it as my favourite March read. It's different and probably not for everyone but it made me cry and books that manage to elicit strong emotions always get a good rating from me. I now want to read Tigana.

It was the same for me Olivia, it made me cry. If a book can do that it's going to get a good rating. Petrik, if you enjoy historical fantasy, I think it's well worth reading. I believe GGK is as good as everyone says. 5 stars from me fro Al-Rassan.
