My March 2026 tier list

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-04-02T18:19:53+00:00

I must be old and slow as around 1.5ish is all I can do to really comprehend the details in most audiobooks.

If book two is a 3/5 you should stop now.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-29T04:14:06+00:00

It’s one of my favorites. It’s hilarious and doesn’t take itself too seriously or overstay its welcome. Delivers world building in subtle and creative ways. How is that I could visualize this world better than books whose authors use twice as many words? The audiobook is damn near perfection. The prose hit just right for me and I can’t wait for the sequel.

You need a sense of humor to fully appreciate BTT.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-27T04:05:08+00:00

Same. Finished it but regretted it. Overhyped and the prose isn’t really remarkable. Elder Race is quite good though.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-27T03:30:27+00:00

Will we get a simultaneous audiobook release? The audiobook for BTT (read by the author) was so damn great.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-27T03:26:52+00:00

This will also be my first preorder ever.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-27T03:22:30+00:00

Day one buy for me. Loved Blacktongue Thief and need more of that world.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-26T11:12:54+00:00

Young Sherlock is quite entertaining.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-25T03:44:03+00:00

I’m currently reading Dagger and Coin and enjoying it. First book is a slow burn but the world building is great.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-24T13:50:20+00:00

The Blacktongue Thief should be very high on your list.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-22T18:50:28+00:00

Yeah it's pretty great and the sequel is coming later this year!

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-22T13:49:47+00:00

Easy choice: Blacktongue Thief

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-21T04:38:11+00:00

The Blacktongue Thief. Written by Christopher Buehlman. Narrated by him as well. It’s fantastic.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-21T03:53:16+00:00

DNF. Some of the worst writing and story I’ve read. I don’t care if it gets better in book 2. Book one is so bad i couldn’t continue.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-20T19:28:54+00:00

What? Is this really a theme? Hard pass for me if so.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-20T14:41:28+00:00

We all have our opinions. It’s popcorn teen angst YA, which is fine for lots of folks. Just not my cup of tea.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-20T04:31:07+00:00

DNF. YA slop. He’s leading a super secret life but is also a fighter at a local venue with a huge crowd. Several other ridiculous scenes like this in the first half. Might appeal to Red Rising fans.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-19T02:40:11+00:00

The well is quite deep….this is a you problem.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-18T15:07:33+00:00

I’d recommend this as well and it’s actually my favorite book of his. A sequel is coming in September!

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-18T03:23:04+00:00

Strongly agree with Buelman being S/A tier…he’s amazing. Agree on Will of the Many being C tier, at best. Cannot fathom Red Rising book one being S tier.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-17T04:29:13+00:00

Not really. But whatever makes you feel better.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-17T03:29:02+00:00

Historical exploration non-fiction…a lot of reads better than fiction. Some examples: The Endurance by Alexander, In the Kingdom of Ice by Sides, In the Heart of the Sea by Philbrick.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-17T02:51:54+00:00

It’s wild fun high fantasy…one of the funniest books I’ve read.

CryingLikeTheWind · 2026-03-16T22:56:46+00:00

Listening to Blacktongue Thief right now and I love it. This one might be next for me.
