#JustFinised the first book in the Skulldugery Pleasant series. Well, after the prequel that is... It's shaping up to be a pretty decent fantasy/adventure series with some under- or over- stated humour. I haven't decided which, maybe both.
I'm listening to it as an audiobook, which works well since it's a young adult series and there's no issue keeping up with what's going on.

I like that, very much along my lines of thinking I should write what I'd like to read. But why does everything worthwhile have to be painful 🤔 😆

I recently finished "All hell breaks loose" the prequel book about Skullduggery Pleasant. A Y/A supernatural mystery series of books.
It started a bit slow but towards the end I started to it's potential. I always prefer a series that gets better and better the deeper I get into it.

I originally read the Otherland series by Tad Williams in Swedish when it was new, and I remember it made quite an impression on me.
Enough that I've now started re-reading it in English. The impression is perhaps not as strong, but I blame myself for that. 😁
I would througly recommend it to anyone who like sci-fi and especially cyberpunk.
