Red Seas Under Red Skies - Scott LynchI've been waiting forever to catch up with book 2 of this series and it didn't disappoint in the main, although there was a boring section in the middle. I guess I'm just not interested in page after page after page of minute detail on how to learn to sail a boat.
But when Jean and Locke were allowed to do what they do best - match wits with those who have minds just as sharp and sly as theirs - it was a rollicking good read.

Blood of DragonsLoved, loved, loved this series from one of my favourite fantasy authors.
Adventure! Mystery! Intrigue! Romance! Liveships! Dragons! What more could you ask for? Add in rich characters and a world that's always fascinating and you have a winner!
Easy to read on its own, but for maximum pleasure, I'd recommend reading the other series - Farseer, Tawny Man and Liveships Trilogies - first. They're all connected, and some of the events in one overlap those in others, with Rain Wilds taking place afterwards. There are enough callbacks to the previous trilogies in Rain Wilds, even though the majority of characters are new, that it's worth reading them in order to get the most out of the story.
