Empire of Silence (The Suneater #1) - Christopher Ruocchio

Took me some starts and stops to get through it, but I loved this. Looking forward to the next one. This first book may be one of the longer origin stories I've read.

Taking a break for a short vacation this week and will knock out a shorter historical novel since I don't own Suneater 2 yet.

If you loved Empire of Silence, prepare to find a level beyond 'love.' The series ramps up each of the next 4 books in ways I can't describe.

Good, I'm currently reading this one as well after re-reading the Dunk & Egg novellas. Enjoying it so far, but it's definitely been a slower burn than some of my previous reads this year

Finished Dark Age yesterday and now on to Light Bringer (Red Rising Series). That was a tough book with a lot of emotions, loss and brutality. I can't remember a character that I was pulling for to end up being someone that I absolutely hated.

Prepare yourself for Light Bringer.

Finally finished American Buffalo by Steven rinella, it was struggle to read. Interesting, but not my favorite.

Just started The Hobbit for the first time, almost a quarter of a way through it.

Just finished The Devils by Joe Abercrombie and loved it (got the recommendation from this board, so thank you). Would love to see a second book in this series as long as we get to see the same characters. Vigga was hands down my favorite as well as my favorite ever depiction of a werewolf.

I see that James Cameron has bought the rights to make a movie out of it. I'm a little wary, after all his time stuck in his Avatar world, that he'll be able to focus on anything besides the special effects and that he'll miss the small character traits and nuances that make these characters great.

Happy you liked it! Not sure if it was my post you read but that was one of my favorite books from last year and I really hope it turns into a series.

I remember reading the First Law series and laughing out loud while reading on my lunch break at work, and I had the same feeling reading this book.

Well, I tried getting into Odd Thomas by Koontz and just couldn't get into it so now I've started the Gideon Crew series by Preston and Child. And I really like how it's starting!

I finished reading Swimming Against the Current by Riley Gaines, and I loved it.

I only recall one recommendation for The Devils it probably was likely yours, so thank you very much! And it's good to hear that The First Law series is just as good, because that's on my list to try soon as well.

I have The Devils with me on vacation. I'll likely start it before we leave but knocking out Isaac's Storm first.

I did read the prologue of Devils. Looking forward to it as a massive Joe Abercrombie fan.
