Yep - sounds about right - he couldn’t control the 3 because no-one was wearing them. And he failed to claim them because they were hidden and he couldn’t find them.

The One Ring was forged last, after the 7,9 and the 3. Celebrimbor sensed the One as it was created, was aware of what it meant. He immediately stopped wearing the 3 and hid them.They were not used again until after the One was cut from Saurons hand.

Just finished The Complete Witcher - an anthology of all the books. While entertaining, it was also a bit of a slog to get through. I probably should just have made do with the Netflix series, and not bothered reading the books…

Soth. Power word kill.

That certainly answered some questions! And highlighted a few new ones..

Wow! I do wonder where it’s going to go next... And that was an intriguing post credit scene.

I read that story in school (many many moons ago) and really enjoyed it - I’d been trying to remember the title/author for ages, so thank you 😊

Finished The Wounded Kingdom trilogy by RJ Barker. It was ok, but don't think I'll read any more if the author decides to continue the story. I then read Ink and Sigil by Kevin Hearne. It's an Iron Druid series off-shoot. It's not as good or as interesting unfortunately, but I'll probably read...

Recently finished the latest Ben Aaronovitch: Tales from the Folly. It was good, but it's just a few short stories. Looking forward to the next "proper" story. I'm gradually working my way through The Wounded Kingdom trilogy by RJ Baker. Its got a nice premise (most of the gods are dead, and...

Oops - yes. My American geography is apparently pretty poor then!

Yeah - that was a really interesting show. It certainly felt authentic - I must admit I hadn't appreciated the levels of racism prevalent in the Southern States, so that was definitely an eye opener. I agree - the monsters were fantastic - you could feel the sanity checks failing :devilish: I...

Me too :) It was nice to get a Dresden fix. I'm glad its not too a long wait for the next one though.

You are almost there... bear with it... The last chapter has something interesting happen. The next book is better and the final three books are a lot better!

Apparently 10... Sanderson has said 2 sets of a 5-book story arc. He does seem to have slowed down in his writing, so that may be a while.

Finally finished A Blight of Blackwings (Seven Kennings) - it was alright. I guess. I'm not sure if I'll be bothered to read any more if/when they come out. Moved on to the Art of the Adept series by Michael G Manning. That was much much more enjoyable to read. It was complete fantasy cheese...

Nice! I love that place. It's more impressive 'in the flesh' but since thats not possible at the moment, this is a great alternative :)

To be honest, not really... The first few books were definitely the best. The writing was good enough for me to want to keep reading 5-8, but the quality of the plot distinctly starts to wane (I want to read book 9 - but mostly from a completionist pov!).

I really enjoyed that series. The magic system is definitely quite nifty. Its a shame book 9 (the conclusion) has been so delayed. David Farland is apparently still working on it, but his first draft has been sat at 50% for a long time. Still reading A Blight of Blackwings (Seven Kennings) -...

I'm in the middle of A Blight of Blackwings (Seven Kennings). It's book 2 in the series and its not really holding my interest at the moment. (I suspect I might have to re-read book 1 because its been a while). As I recall the first book took a while to get going as well, so will stick at it.

Yeah... That one is the worst in the series... You could almost skip it entirely because it felt like nothing of consequence happens until the last chapter. It does at least get a lot better with the next book.
