Whipped through these two, but the third book is famously taking forever to come out.
Fun, modern take on the backstory of characters from Greek Mythology
Read right these right before the show came out, still waiting for the next book, though I’ve mostly lost interest after how the show ended.
Considered an absolute masterpiece, these were crazy dense and I wasn’t in a time of my life where I had the spare brainpower to fully appreciate.
Plot-driven and entertaining, I enjoyed them at the time. There are additional books out now, but haven’t felt the need to continue.
This took a long while to read. Drags a bit in the middle, but finishes strong.
Could have been edited down a bit, but overall was a fun series to read
If a book about capitalism within a fantasy world sounds like a good time, then this book is for you.
Series starts strong, though the most recent books were just OK. Waiting on the final five books to be written.
Hard sci-fi with some interesting ideas for an alien ecosystem. Pairs well with Parasite Rex
Light and easy popcorn fantasy
I haven’t played the games or watched the show, but the books are enjoyable enough if you like the genre.
Heard a lot of hype about Emily Wilson’s modern translation, so decided to give it a shot. I found the preface and initial notes to be fairly interesting, and the translation is definitely more readable than what I remember in high school. However, finishing this ended up being a bit of a slog for me.
