  1. Book 16: “Four Roads Cross” by #MaxGladstone.

    After five books in this series, what else is there to say besides I plan on buying all of them? And happily re-reading, maybe in sequential order this time, maybe in publication order after that. Only then picking up the new books. There are few series I can think of that bring such perpetual pleasure: Earthsea, His Dark Materials…

    „Worte tun weh, aber Metaphern gehen dazwischen wie Brücken und Worte sind wie Steine, um Brücken zu bauen, unter Qualen aus der Erde gehauen, aber etwas Neues erschaffend, etwas Gemeinsames, etwas, das mehr als eine Schicht ist.“

  4. Book 28: "Full FathomFive" by #MaxGladstone.

    This series is too smart for me—not in a bad way, just that I think I'd get more enjoyment out of it if I were able to have both a pulled back and a focused in view of the world. The interconnections and the highly specific details of this city, this magic, this social strata.

    Like the second book in this series, I think I'll enjoy it more on a re-read, which I'm really looking forward to doing.

  5. Book 25: “Two Serpents Rise” by #MaxGladstone.

    The second title in The Craft Sequence, I didn’t like it as much as the first. Gladstone doesn’t hand-hold in his world-building, which I prefer, but I felt I missed a lot of subtleties with the new characters, time period, and location. This is the kind of thing a re-read will address though, and I look forward to that.

    I do love every part of the world across these books, just certain parts more than others.

  6. Book 23: “Three Parts Dead” by #MaxGladstone.

    What a great writer. Learned after the fact that he’s one of the co-authors of “This Is How You Lose the Time War”. Makes sense.

    The ideas here felt new and exciting. Exposition and world-building doesn’t happen in clunky blocks like it does in so many books. It takes real skill not to frustrate readers when you throw together dead gods, magic from starlight, gargoyles, vampires, contract law, and a whole lot more.

  7. Wenn ich extra an #Osiander vorbeigehe und mir dann Vividus ein Angebot macht, zu dem ich nicht nein sagen kann... Neu im #Bücherregal Carl Meyer: #Aberglaube im #Mittelalter - @medievodons #medievalhistory #medieval @buchstodon - Was dann mit #ProjektMyra zu tun hat weiss ich erst wenn ich es gelesen habe. Jetzt habe ich erstmal den #Timewar gewonnen #AmalElMohtar #MaxGladstone & schwelge noch in dessen Poesie und Zitaten, die in meinem Kopf wirbeln und mir unterwegs gute Gespräche bescherten.
