Not every road goes on forever. This is the final part of The Darkest Road readalong, covering parts four and five of the book, and with it the end of our The Fionavar Tapestry readalong. And asking the questions? C’est moi. Imyril, you truly are my favourite bookfriend right now. Before I get onto the […]

The road leads ever on. To the fairest place in all the worlds, to the memories of a world now lost to malice, to the shifting illusions where a person may be lost forever and to the ending in the west where the blessed are kept forever. Asking the questions is Bookforager and now it […]

Time for part two. We’ve wiped our shoes on the welcome mat, got a drink, and are now settled in to visit the crew of the good ship Prydwen as they return home from a very dark place, just as very special young man on a very dark road is coming to the screen too. […]

So we find the Weaver back at the loom ready to finish this tapestry, and two dreaming group of adventurers reunited again. I cannot remember the last time a readalong group I’ve been part of has romped through a series like this, because it hasn’t happened. Sometimes I think about suggesting we finish off Phedre’s […]

And so we come to the end of this book. This week, I have been put in charge of the questions, which is clearly a level of temerity from our glorious leader well equal to a silver cloaked wizard telling five students it’ll be totes fine to go planet hopping. I have, in their spirit, […]

Intro. Oh good gods I can’t believe I put this up with just intro. Ahem. What I meant to say is it’s week two! Great deeds beckon! Dark shadows fall over the unnatural snow. And in this passage, perhaps the deepest, or if not that only because we cannot fathom it all, we are guided […]

When we started The Summer Tree readalong, I didn’t expect to find we’d be doing The Wandering Fire within a month of finishing the trilogy’s first book. But we are, to my utter delight. As ever, our fearless leader in charge of plunging people into perilous situations is the otherwise incredibly wise bookwyrm Imyril, and […]

This is the end, my only friend. And other friends. Asking the questions is Lisa of Dear Geek Place. Week 4: Chapter 19 through to the end LET’S TALK ABOUT THE REVEAL OF AINSEL’S IDENTITY! DID THIS SURPRISE YOU? I, uh, had completely forgotten about the Ainsel thing. So, I guess, yeah. Surprised me a lot. […]

Endgame time. Thank you to Mayri at Bookforager for this week’s questions. 1. Paul is now the Lord of the Summer Tree. What do you think this means/ will mean? Hmm. Well. I cannot guess. But if I were to do so, I would note that he seems to be a power now, treated with […]

It’s a readalong, you know the drill, it’s too late for catchy intros, let’s go. Asking the questions is the brilliant Bookforager Week 3: Chapters 12 through 18 OUR KNIGHT AND HER COMPANY HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE MONSTER FROM THE HEART OF THE WOODS AND LEARNT HER STORY. THOUGHTS? FEELINGS? Well my first thoughts were happiness […]
