Book recommendation incoming! I love Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, though it took me a while to get there. The first 30% of the book was very slow going and I found it kind of annoying. The characters are hard to grasp, Lawrence mentions places and events that are unknown to you and aren't explained, et cetera, et cetera. And then all of a sudden everything happens at once and things fall into place! And it turns out the characters aren't hard to grasp, they are just people with good and bad (or awful) sides. You know, like actual people? Last night, after hitting that 30% mark, I couldn't stop reading. In the end I went to sleep at 2.30 in the morning and the first thing I did after waking up, was picking up this book. #reading #books #bookstodon #fantasy
