I didn’t read much in May. The month started with Christopher Paolini’s To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, a monumental 1200-page space opera. I think that wore me down and I mostly chilled without books after that.
Best
- To Sleep in a Sea of Stars – 5/5, a book I enjoyed and touched me, despite its absurd size.
- Howl’s Moving Castle – 5/5, a sweet low-stakes fantasy story. It’s not the type of book you can binge but it is kind of cool the way Legends and Lattes is. Something that can flush your brain a bit if you feel down.
- City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett – 5/5, an epic dark fantasy, almost steampunk, where tech faces miracles and gods. It has an unique world and even better developed characters than City of Stairs. Robert Bennet is clearly a very strong fantasy author. Looking forward to finding his other works.
Worst
- The Belgariad #2 – DNF at around 30%.
I think this is is the worst month for reading since I started writing the monthly reports here. However, the 3 books I completed were all great, so it evens things out a bit.
