Anyone here participating in this year’s r/fantasy book bingo? How’s it going if so?

Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.

Edit: just realised I said “this year’s” bingo when this may in fact be “the last” bingo. Oh well.

    No actually they were saying that the characters were unlikeable and complaining that it apparently has a downbeat ending, neither of which I was feeling up to.

      I think the blurb sets up a bad set of expectations. “Lesbian necromancers in space” makes it seem like a Sci-Fi/Fantasy LGBT+ romance novel. Instead you get a mystery in a setting that is only technically science-fantasy with a vague romance side plot.

      The ending isn’t happy, that is for sure.
