I have a broad range of interests which is reflected in my reading. I generally read Sci-fi and Fantasy for relaxation, with some historical fiction.

I enjoyed this sequel. It seem less action packed than the first book but with bigger risks as Darrow tries to consolidate his position in the society in the midst of political turmoil. A shocking, unexpected ending. to the book raises big questions for book 3.

I heard a recommendation for this book/series and within a few days found myself reading it, skipping the the top of the long list of books I have. I'm glad i picked it up straight away.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Ursula K. Le Guin was a treasure.
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 possibly enjoyed this more than Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers.

I enjoy the casual banter between the main characters in this series. It differs from the original trilogy in that it isn't obvious who the ultimate antagonist is and what their goal is.

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.

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.
