There is no reader post this time, because I cheated and am doing this out of schedule. The book will pick up quite a bit next time, so I would rather not delay that moment if I can help it.

 

I do wish we can see more of the Avar; their plot is one of the better ones so far. )

I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I would like to do the Axis Trilogy by Sara Douglass and its sequels as one of my sporking projects. But, before I begin, I do need to know what’s exactly in them. And to do that, I’m about to begin with a live-read of these books.

The series consists of the following books: the Axis Trilogy, consisting of BattleAxe, Enchanter, and StarMan; the Wayfarer Redemption Trilogy (a sequel series), consisting of Sinner, Pilgrim, and Crusader; a disconnected prequel, Threshold; a disconnected midquel, Beyond the Hanging Wall; and the DarkGlass Mountain Trilogy, consisting of The Serpent Bride, The Twisted Tower and The Infinity Gate.

And I will be using my entire array of sporkers for this one, so you can get a good sense of them.

Here is the table of contents for the entire series:
Lots of chapters. )
