  • Enchanters’ Endgame

    By David Eddings
    3 stars

    The being of the series feels a bit rushed but it nicely wraps up most of the loose ends. Various bits of timeline are slightly stretched to make various groups meet up at the end. Enjoyable read.

  • Order of the stick: no Cure for the Paladin Blues

    By Rich Burlew
    4 stars

    Longest Oots story yet. Rereading it I find myself no liking Miko as much as I did in earlier reads. But then we are not really supposed to like her. King of Nowhere sketch is istill a classic and very pythonic.

  • Rockin’ Around the Chickadee

    By Donna Andrews
    4 stars

    A solid Christmas themed Meg story. I was about 2/3 of the way through when I worked out who did it. Though they were my top suspect from about half way.

  • Castle of wizrdry

    By David Eddings
    5 stars

    One of my favourites in the series. It has everything, a leldorian disaster, a sorcererous tempter tantrum, witches messing with reality. I’m not sure it really stands on its own as a boook outside the series.

  • The order of the stick: Dungeon crawl in’ fools

    By Rich Burlew
    4 stars

    The first major storyline for the order.

  • Magician’s gambit

    By David eddings
    4 stars

    The story continues. New heroes join the group and old ones depart.

  • Order of the stick: good deeds gone unpunished

    By Rich Burlew
    5 stars

    This is the best of the oots prequels. It contains back stories for a number of the oots allies. And O-Chul is one of my favourites and his story takes up more than half the book.

  • How big things get done

    By Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner
    5 stars

    A great read about why big projects fail and what can be done to make them succeed more often.

  • The order of the stick: On the Origin of PCs

    By Rich Burlew
    4 stars

    The backstory of each OOTS hero, and how they became a team. Well, almost.

  • The order of the stick: start of darkness

    By Rich Burlew
    3 stars

    A prequel with backstories of the main villains from the webcomic The Order of the Stick. Much darker than most of his stories but they are Team Evil.

  • Winter’s gifts

    By Ben Aaronovitch
    4 stars

    Set in the world of the rivers of London, this is a novella about FBI agent Kimberly Reynolds rather than Peter Grant. It takes place in small town USA but still maintains a RoL vibe.

  • Queen of sorcery

    By David Eddings
    3 stars

    Maybe it's because I'm unwell while reading this, but the second book in the series is not quite as good as I remember. Or maybe it is the small typeface. The story continues apace, but certain character catchphrases get reused a bit too often.

  • Pawn of Prophecy

    By David Eddings
    5 stars

    One of my all-time favorite fantasy series. Definitely worth a read. Though there is some glossed over family violence involving one of the heroes that becomes a (questionable) catalyst for later character growth.

  • Between a Flock and a Hard Place

    By Donna Andrews
    4 stars

    Home makeover programmes will never be the same again.

  • normal rules don't apply

    By Kate Atkinson
    2 stars

    It is an odd series of semi-related short stories. Sometimes a bit too much back story and not enough actual story. Still worth a read.
