Day 21

This year I started the #ShadowOfTheLeviathan and the #HeirDuology. The first books in either series didn't get more than 3/3.5 for me, but I will continue. Book 2 of Heir isn't out yet, however I do own the sequel to #TheTaintedCup, so I'm not giving up just yet.

The cover of the book. A large red sun-like circle bleeds in the middle of an overgrown jungle-like environment, predominantly made up of mushrooms in the foreground and unknown trees in the backend. A couple of lanterns are perched on foliage, as is a goblet.

Book 34 is "The Tainted Cup" by Robert Jackson Bennett.

A++ #BookReview: A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett My Review: There is something rotten in the state of the Empire. There are PLENTY of somethings ROTTING in the state of Yarrowdale, some naturally so, some deliberately so, some neglectfully so and some, even, all of the above. It’s a matter of which is which, which is what has brought Ana and Kol from their previous assignment to this rotting backwater on the edge of the Empire.
