Remember my recent return to reading epic fantasy and how annoyed I was? It reminded me I hadn't yet read the third trilogy in Lynn Kurland's Nine Kingdoms series. If you haven't guess by now, that's exactly what I did, so let's talk about it! Why I took so long to read this third trilogy, I don't know nor understand.

Instead, I had to read ...

It was all the same tropes, all the same plot beats; chosen one gets chosen goes on quest and saves the world. Of course, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but for some reason…I was sick of it. Like, I love Mexican food and could eat it everyday. Almost do. But sometimes I get sick of it and I need to cleanse my palate with either sushi (though, now it’s replacement is poké) or ...
