Just finished re-reading A Clash of Kings by G.R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire 2). It's a very cool book, but I didn't find it quite as consistently gripping as the first one. The first just has such incredible pacing imo.
Next one up is Caliban's War by James Corey (The Expanse 2). I have seen the TV show, and really liked the first book as well.
So do you not just blast through the series? Very interesting.
I'm on whatever book six is of the expanse, and probably gonna call it there. I won't take up ASoIaF due to its incomplete nature. I am a start-to-finish reader, whether it's just a few books or Realm of the Elderlings.
It's kinda like TV shows, I've had a few that I start while they're still airing, and when the next season comes out I find myself completely lost. Gotta stay fresh.
Hmm, no I wouldn't say that. I have literally alternated between different series and read other books, although I guess it is not that long since I read either of the first books in the series'. It is not a project though, I am very capable of dropping books/games/shows if I am getting bored. This time I just wanted to continue that one. I read Children of Time in December and liked it, but haven't felt like reading the next book yet.
