„Haus Ashford – Magisches Erbe“ von Benedict Jacka:
Magie, Macht, Familiengeheimnisse – und ein Held, der sich zwischen allen Welten behaupten muss.

Rezensent Carsten Kuhr findet: faszinierendes Magiesystem, aber teils chaotische Handlung. Trotzdem – ein lesenswerter Band für Fans moderner Urban Fantasy.

Puh, jetzt sind alle 12 Bände der #alexverus-Reihe von #benedictjacka gelesen. Und bei den #shardlake-Büchern kommt jetzt Band 4 dran. Ich bin echt beeindruckt, wie viel ich wieder lese. Und ich habe ein wenig Sorge, was nach den beiden Reihen für mich kommt. Ich glaube, dann will ich mal in die #dsa, #splittermond oder #dnd Romanwelt eintauchen. Leider wird da die #onleihe nicht viel haben. Aber wo fängt man da an?

"An Instruction in Shadow", fantasy #BenedictJacka: interesting non-OP lower-class protagonist, world has potential. BUT:
Everyone would benefit from a modicum of common sense. Familial and social relationships are just too shallow. Too many too elaborate "fight" scenes that shouldn't have happened (see "common sense") take up pages, while the actual story progress is making glaciers look speedy. Annoying cliffhanger.
1/3 of a book? 4/10, will likely not read book 3. Shame, I loved Alex Verus.

Book 50 of 2024 is "An Inheritance of Magic" by Benedict Jacka.

A break from my current re-read schedule as I'm getting through the Cosmere faster than planned, which probably shouldn't surprise me.
This is the first in a new series by the author of the Alex Verus books, which I quite enjoyed.

Edit: finished 28th September.

New book purchases.

"The Archive Undying" by Emma Mieko Candon. Picked this one based on a description here on Mastodon months ago. Sci-fi with AI gods and war robots.

"An Inheritance of Magic" by Benedict Jacka. I've read all of his Alex Verus books, and finally got around to grabbing this new, unrelated, series.

Seit dem Urlaub im Sommer hat mich die Leselust wieder eingeholt. Bald geschafft ist der 2. Band von #BenedictJacka um den Magier #AlexVerus. Die Bücher sind sehr spannend aber mein Lieblingsgenre bleibt doch SF. Aber #urbanfantasy - Literatur ist auf jeden Fall sehr passend im Herbst. #lesetipp #books
