Finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.
That was some story! Quite different, but also quite similar (to the rest of the series). Also, part of the ending was expected, but was surprised by the rest. Looking forward to where the story goes from here.
Also read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Witcher book.
I read it quite a while ago, but hadn’t finished the series, so got a boxed set and reading it now. I had forgotten how Fairy Tales heavy this book is.
Bingo squares (for both boooks): Author from a Different Continent (hard mode), Now a Major Motion Picture, Short and Sweet, Based on Folklore, Off your TBR Pile, also possibly Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

I read the first trilogy, and wanted to continue with the rest but never got around to it. How are the Ship books?
I’m only on the first one and that only about 40% of the way through. It’s very different than the Farseer trilogy. I’d actually skipped the Liveship trilogy before without realizing it. I was still very new to fantasy at that point.
Ship of Magic has multiple protagonists and tbh I don’t like any of them. It’s extremely well written but man does everyone have glaring flaws. I’m really hoping for some serious character growth so I can start rooting for anyone.
I loved the Farseer trilogy, but I didn’t get very far in to Liveship traders. It’s been a long time, so I don’t recall exactly what it was, but I didn’t like it at all. I actually gave my copies to someone who seemed really in to the books. I hope she gave them a good home.
Did you read any other books in the Elderlings series?
No, I haven’t read any Hobb after Liveship, unfortunately.
