Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh gosh, Less. I have so many thoughts about that book.
Starless Sea is -- I'm having a hard time finding a handhold. I suspect that's because I had a book in my brain, and am grading fifty thousand student stories.
I got the impression that 9th House is something of a jump for fans -- but it was right in my wheelhouse, most of the time.
I am doing the approach-avoid thing with The Water Dancer because I still need to get grading done and I suspect I won't be able to get up once I've sat down with this one. T enjoyed it a lot.

No, that was exactly my experience as well.

Hey. New board.
Okay, so the night circus was great. 10k days of January seems to the the next one being recommended, fair?

Hey. New board.
Ok, also, I'm finally catching up with NK Jemisen. Read and Loved the inheritance trilogy (ebook omnibus edition) but had a really hard time getting into Dreamblood duology. Should I keep trying or move on to her other big trilogy, name currently slipping my brain?

Gris, the Broken Earth trilogy is fabulous. Pix, ahhhh I am sad to hear it.
If you haven't read Witchmark and love a bit of gay romance in your sff, plus bicycles and apples and a lot of other goodness, it just won the world fantasy award and I love it so. The sequel's coming out soon, why I mention it. (ETA: possibly for a second or third time)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I remember liking Dreamblood but I don't actually remember anything about it, so, yeah, maybe go on to something else. The Inheritance Trilogy also had a bunch of novellas IIRC, were they included in the omnibus? In any case, Broken Earth is so so good.

I also loved Witchmark. I've preordered the sequel.
