As much as I have soured on the series due to it never finishing and due to the 400 page sex god romp in the second book, the opening line of Name of the Wind pulled me in instantly. I’m not going to paste it all here, but it was the stuff about the three silences.
Just started “A Curse of Krakens” by Kevin Hearne (the guy who wrote the Iron Druid series). This is the third in the Seven Kennings series. The series has been pretty fun so far, with an interesting magic system. The prose is only so-so, but the way the story is told is unique and fun.
