I find the start of Le Guin’s Earthsea books always a little bit of a struggle but they always turn out great. It happened with a the Wizard of Earthsea and it happened with the Tombs of Atuan. After the first couple of chapters you get pulled in. Le Guin’s style is more reflective than adventurous and that’s what I really love.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It makes you think and there are some really great quotes there. For example: “What she had begun to learn was the weight of liberty. Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.”

Just started reading this after some cosy mystery misses. Let’s see how it goes.
This is my second one of the series and they are good enough but really not as excellent as everyone says. I would read them as cosy murder mysteries but nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Overall fine but certainly not the phenomenon that they are portrayed as. The narrator was good and played the characters very well.

I'm reading Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself. I'm about a 3rd of the way and what strikes me is the lack of women characters up to now. Do all fantasy fictions have to be in a male oriented medieval world???
Someone tell me it changes as we go along please!

I already read the first one a while ago. Enjoying this one.
It's interesting but a little difficult to get through. I feel like it could have been made simpler and more interesting. I read a lot of science books and don't usually have trouble following. With this one, I did. The topic is interesting, though.

Cosy murder mystery
I’m on a cosy murder mystery spree at the moment and I’m enjoying it. Robert Thoroughgood does tend to meander a lot and the explanation makes you feel like he is talking to someone he thinks is of lower intelligence but the stories are good.

It was generally good, although not as great as I expected it to be. It tended to drone on a bit in places.
But good for those who want a quick overview of some parts of Greek mythology, especially about Odysseus.

Just OK. Couldn't finish it because I really wasn't interested in the details of the protagonist's lunch in jail among other things.
