Anyone here participating in this year’s r/fantasy book bingo? How’s it going if so?
Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.
Edit: just realised I said “this year’s” bingo when this may in fact be “the last” bingo. Oh well.
Red Sister was quite interesting. IMO the rest of the series doesn’t hold up.
I highly recommend Gideon the Ninth down there at the bottom too. Very highly. Why haven’t you started yet?
I was torn actually between starting that one next and Red Sister. Then I saw some negative comments about Gideon that made me hesitate, so your recommendation is actually much appreciated.
What were the issues people had with it? Pacing in the middle third?
No actually they were saying that the characters were unlikeable and complaining that it apparently has a downbeat ending, neither of which I was feeling up to.
