Couldn't finish Jonathan Strange et al; but Piranesi was a delight.

I thought I was alone. I've had so many recommendations of that book, and I've started it three times. Last time I got about half way through and my reading of it just petered out.
I believe folks, it just wasn't engaging for me the same way it was to others.

Having managed to get through 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons (I found it a lot more interesting in the second half) - and still treating The Great Big Book of Horrible Things as a reference book to thumb through rather than read from beginning to end - I recently finished going through all four hundred ninety-five cards in the 1993 AD&D 2nd Edition Trading Cards factory set. That was the last set of the AD&D trading cards I didn't have (including the sixty rares for the '93 set, which aren't included in the box; I snatched them up at auction a while back), leaving only the eleven promo cards from Gen Con 1992 missing from my collection...for now.
With those done, I'm starting on my copy of Secret of the Spirit Keeper, the first of the Knights of the Silver Dragon series. Roughly thirty pages in, it's not holding my interest, but that's not unexpected given that it's a YA novel. I'm mostly reading it simply because it's a D&D series which I don't know much about, which as a self-proclaimed Dungeons & Dragons aficionado doesn't sit well with me.

I loved that series when I read it back in the 80's - soon after its release. I hope it holds up for you!

I read it a few years back; definitely holds its own, IMO.

Patricia McKillip's works are so darn good. I think I'm more partial to The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, but really, everything I've read by her has been amazing.
I finished Burroughs' Pellucidar. I don't know if it's just where my headspace is right now or that I knew what to expect from the series, but I enjoyed it much more than the first volume.
Now I'm onto something more modern, with Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone.

That didn't take long. I finished Shadow and Bone, enjoying it quite a bit. It was perforce less complex than the Netflix show, but deeper. And I much preferred the book ending.
Next is Andre Norton's Three Against The Witch World.
