I enjoy these series from Edward Robertson. The banter and sarcasm between Dante and Blays and other characters makes them more relatable than some traditional high fantasy books. This one took a little longer to read but possibly more to do with me being pressed for time rather than the book content. Looking forward to the next book to continue with the story.

I read the original Mistborn trilogy a number of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's taken a while to get around to reading this series but I'm glad I did. I enjoy the unique forms of 'magic' Sanderson creates in his fantasy series.

Korora finished reading Forward the Foundation by Isaac Asimov
It took me a long time to read this book for various reasons. I didn't find it as engaging as previous books in the series. It took a long time to read and I'm not sure if I read slower because I wasn't enjoying it, or if I didn't enjoy it as much because it took a long time to read.
As prequel to the first novel the plot meanders towards the known end point. I found the discovery of "mentalics", the entire basis of the second foundation too coincidental and unbelievable.
