Colours in the Steel — K. J. Parker
Having read K. J. Parker’s “The Seige” trilogy some time ago, i thought i’d go back to the beginning and begin to give his whole back catalogue a good read at.
Colours in the Steel is K. J. Parker’s first book in his first ever triology: “The Fencer”. And guess what, it’s really good.
There’s just so much going on in this book to keep you enthralled and entertained, with lots of great characters that you can really get on board with, and lots of action as well.
If you haven’t read a good castle/walled-city seige story, then i would suggest you give ” The Seige” trilogy a go to start with, because it’s just soooo good. And if you enjoy that, which you’re bound to do, then you’ve got this story waiting in the wings to satisfy your appetite for more. Because one thing is for sure, K. J. Parker does write a really good seige story.
And with all that written i’m going to dive straight into the second book, Belly of the Bow.

The Girl and the Moon — Mark Lawrence
And so we’re back in the corridor, at Sweet Mercy, where it all began in the original trilogy.
Once again, i felt that dragging tedious feeling i had with the previous books in this trilogy, except this time it wasn’t due to plodding over the ice. This time it mostly came down to this never ending cat and mouse game with Seus and Eular, both of which aren’t very exciting baddies and don’t exactly get one excited. In fact they just continued to disappoint me with the fact that they keep not dying when that’s all i wanted them to do from about 50% in, just so we could get it all over with.
Ok, i have to admit that i read the whole trilogy all the way through, so it couldn’t have been that bad. But, it definitely could have been a lot better and lot lot lot faster paced.
Anyways, it’s all over now and i can go and read some other more exciting things.
