Feet of ClayTerry Pratchett
Loved it

I thought this book in particular feet of clay was possibly the funniest Discworld book that ever got written which puts it in the running for the funniest book of all time because Discworld is known for being hysterical

Fool's AssassinRobin Hobb
Loved it

I ultimately will look back on this with immensely fond memories you know this is going to be one of my top Realm of the elderlings books

Mad ShipRobin Hobb
Mixed

even though there is a little bit of middle book syndrome here the character development here was so magical that I have to include it this high on the list. I did feel like there were some pacing issues here though because there was a character that got introduced named cirilla who just bored me to tears

The Bone ShipsR.J. Barker
Loved it

this is one of the greatest starts to a series of all time maybe the greatest start to a series of all time this is a nautical fantasy pirate book and I love all three of those terms that I just said dearly

this is all of the best parts of Terry Pratchett in his comedy and straight up dark horror and it's so weird to think that you could have a book that successfully Blends horror and comedy into the same book and let it make it work that it's just mind-blowing

The Shadow RisingRobert Jordan
Loved it

this book kept on Rising with how much that I loved it so at the time you know I liked book five more than four but on reevaluation I think book four is better than book five

this book just wrapped it up in such an amazing way and I know that I'm gonna keep feeling this way but I'm very sad that I have to give this book a ranking that I consider way lower than it should be

Time Of CourageJohn Gwynne
Loved it

I love that this book had so much built up to it not only did it need to finish out this Trilogy really well but it had to finish up this larger story really well and it did extremely amazing at achieving what it was able to achieve

ValourJohn Gwynne
Loved it

this took everything that got set up in Malice and ramped it up to 11. it was better in every single way and I love malice showed up on my top hundred and literally every part of this book I thought was better
