This week flew by pretty quickly. Didn’t even get time to read all the messages in last week’s post…
Finished Valour’s Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation. Enjoyed the book, going to continue with the series, and may check some more of Tanya Huff’s work too.
Read Jujitu Kaisen Vol. 5. Nothing much to say about that, more of a manga goodness.
Started Dark Moon by David Gemell, a standalone fantasy book. This is my first Gemell book and I am enjoying it. I am about 1/3rd of the way in, and the world-building feels like something that can sustain a trilogy or even a longer series.
What about all of you? What have been reading or listening?
What drew you to The Three Musketeers? Have you read any other Dumas?
I’ve always been a fan of swashbuckling adventure stories. Having seen numerous film renditions of the book, I felt it was about time that I went to the source material. I am still early in the book yet but I have been enjoying the writing style, even if some of the cultural points are a dated by a few centuries (then again, I used to play a lot of ttrpgs and go to anachronistic festivals, so, not a big issue).
While I haven’t read any of his other works, I suspect that I will, as long as it doesn’t become too much of a slog.
