A lot of those are excellent but The Priory of the Orange Tree is one of the most boring books I’ve ever read. The high-level idea isn’t bad, but the big bads are just evil because… they are? Most of the characters are pretty flat, the worldbuilding is incredibly shallow (ok the religions seem semi-interesting, but they get mostly glossed over) and I only finished it to see if there was something to all the hype that I was missing. Having major characters be women/LGBT+/POC is awesome, but those things alone can’t carry a book, especially one this big.

Bitching over, sorry. Replace that one with The Library at Mount Char or How To Lose The Time War.

Edit: bitching NOT over, where the hell is goddamn Baru Cormorant?!
