I haven't read the Murakami running book and now I want to try it! I recommend it! Even though I'm not (and never will be) a runner, it's really well-written.
I think that was my experience with Sorcery of Thorns as well Ooh, okay, maybe I won't bother then. I did like the side-characters in Ravens too (especially...the Lord I'm forgetting the name of now and his young ward, as well as the main character's sisters), but not enough to carry the book.
Valiant was the one I never finished of those books Oh interesting, what tripped you up on Valiant? I think it's because I read Valiant before Tithe so was more invested in Val than Kaye and...oh my god. I just that Valiant is a pun, typing her name out just now. Goddammit.
But yeah, I do love that Roiben plays a significant part in some of The Folk of the Air (and, actually, a bit of Valiant, as I discovered on this read). I'd be interested in hearing what you think if you do pick them up! My library annoyingly doesn't have either of them, only Valiant, otherwise I'd be more tempted, but buying them feels like a big investment.
(Also, hi! :D I enjoyed browsing through your DW updates -- adding you, if that's okay!) Hello! Absolutely!! Have added you back :D
