        Heya! Just thought I’d let you know I worked through most of the series you listed, and really enjoyed them all (except Thief which I DNFed).

          That’s awesome! I’m curious about Thief and why you DNF’d it. No criticism, just curious about keeping it in my recommendations. It is a pretty slow burn and I’m curious if that was a factor.

            It’s not the slow burn, I’m very much into books that focus on worldbuilding. I just couldn’t get past the language and writing style. It read like a 3rd grade kids book to me, and I just kept getting annoyed. Somebody else who doesn’t mind that might like it, just a personal thing.
