I am officially in a rut. My last month of reading has resulted in not completing any series to the end. After failing to complete The Broken Empire and The Dragon Songs Saga I had hoped to complete both instalments for The Masquerade but I'm stopping here.

I truly enjoyed the Dagger and Coin series and felt that Baru was similar to Cithrin bel Sarcour as they used money to create power and force change. Baru was a more ruthless master of coin but I enjoyed the similarities and excited to continue reading the series.

And just like the last few books I come in to the home stretch of the book and realize I am not as interested as I expected. Then doubt enters my mind if I want to keep reading the book and by the time I reach the end, no matter how enjoyable the ending, I am ready to move on.
