Is two a series? Could something be a series even if it’s not published as such?I’m thinking of Guy Gavriel Kay and the books Sailing to Sarantium & Lord of Emperors . Those two are a duology – The Sarantine Mosaic. Very good, I ordinarily don’t enjoy all these swords’n'sorcery, dragons’n'fairladies and… swineherd boys gets to be princes and faieries and gnomes and… but with the exception of Last light of the sun he writes really good nonconventional fantasy stories.

I’d be happy to do a read of Tigana – I started but I got sidetracked and didn’t finish.

Loved loved loved King of Attolia – I love that series altogether, but that is my favourite too.

I love Guy Gavriel Kay and have read all his works. Want to do a buddy readalong on Tigana? Let me know (nrlymrtl [at] gmail [dot] com).

Also, Stainless Steel Droppings is doing his annual Readers Imbibing Peril reading event which is pretty fun and can be as light or as intense as you like. You might want to check that out.

I enjoyed The King of Attolia, even though there’s a disappointing lack of Eugenides in it.

Yes, The King of Attolia is the best in the series — full-stop, I’m going to say, although A Conspiracy of Kings was also very good, and heaven knows so was The Queen of Attolia. The King of Attolia’s the one I’ve reread the most often (so far). I hope you love it!

As for inspiration, I am just coming back from a three-months hiatus and it has made me feel much cheerier about blogging generally. I don’t necessarily recommend three months, but maybe give yourself a break of a scheduled amount of time? Enough time to miss it? And then you will want to come back and blog more? It worked very nicely for me.

I’ll look forward to your thoughts on The Unicorn Hunt. I’ve just finished Race of Scorpions so I’m still a few books behind you. And I read Gillespie and I last year and loved it! I hope you enjoy it more than The Observations.

Gillespie and I was AWESOME!! Not enough people have read this book so I’m excited to see that you plan to read it
