modulux, to books EN

Just finished The Tyrant Baru Cormoran. So some thoughts, no spoilers:

It is as good as I was hoping. The structure involves a lot of jumping back and forth, but though it may not seem so at first, it is done for good reasons and not just to confuse the reader.
The book is a part of a series, and satisfying in that regard, solving a lot of loose threads, but leaving the ending open.
There is a lot of violence done to bodies, some of it disturbingly described. This is not a book for squeamish people.
Overall, while Traitor and Monster saw Baru confident and then lost, I'd argue Tyrant is about her finding herself again.
Very strongly recommend it.

@modulux excited to get started on them so I can share some thoughts too! Good to read that they are satisfying reads for you

This is also a good and accurate description of Kaleidoscope of Death:

Kaleidoscope of death [Are you or a loved one terminally ill? Perhaps you're about to be on death's door, but you don't have to walk through it! At the low-low price of probably-dying-anyway, you can complete 12 doors by finding the keys and then you can properly live the rest of your life! (P.s crossdressing is not required.)
