Favorite reads of the year so far?

Least favorite reads of the year?

    Goal was 12, current count is 24. My favorite book so far was Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb. First time I read the Farseer trilogy, it was very good the overall ending felt weird but I enjoyed it well.

    My least favorite book was Edge of Shadows by Brent Weeks. I just couldn’t get myself to care about it for some reason. The coolest part from book 2 was solved shorty after the start (Kylar’s hand restoration) and afterwards I was very meh on it. Got to chapter 30 and set the book down it’s dnf and I don’t see myself going back.

    I am currently reading Robots and Empire by Issac Asimov. This is the conclusion to the Robots series, it’s very weird in that there is a large time jump between book 3 and 4. So transition of the main character is hampering my enjoyment a little bit. But it is still Asimov and it is fun.
