Curious to see what the Lemmings are reading this year.
I’ll say my favorite this year was “The People of the Deer” by Farley Mowat, a novelization of the authors time spent in the Canadian North.
An incredible read with some wonderful prose.

4 was worst. I think because he changed his style.
5 was better because I expected it to be different but the story moves better.
6 was like reading 1-3 again. He even said as he winds down the series he’ll be writing in more the style of the first trilogy
Cool, thanks for letting me know. I actually did read a couple chapters of number four, but I put it down and took a break. It’s good to know you enjoyed six so that I can give the second trilogy another whirl.
Something felt weird about book four, but I didn’t analyze it at all. What changed with his style?
I watched an interview with him at a Comic-Con a year or so ago. I think it was the multiple perspective that he took on it. Plus he had to figure out how to create new momentum within the book after everything had changed. Book four I feel like he was trying to figure out where he wanted the rest of this to go. Initially it was supposed to be a six book series with it being really too trilogies. But now it’s going to be seven books. Four five and six get progressively better as you go and sex feels more like the original trilogy 👍🏻
Okay cool thanks. That’s exactly what I felt when I started four, like he was trying to figure out what the hell was going to happen now after such an intense climactic finish in three, haha.
Good to hear he figured it out eventually. And thanks for telling me it’s going to be a seven part series now, I would hate to finish six and then realize I was waiting for the conclusion.
I usually try not to start a series unless it’s already completed, but I got pretty hooked on book one and knew that at least one trilogy was finished at that point.
