Masters of Death

I love these books. I think part of what makes them so good is how Brown captures the trials of leadership, and how Darrow is actually becoming a great leader. I feel like we typically just see “the chosen one” randomly portrayed a good leader with no idea how they got there or even what makes them good. But Darrow O’Lykos has an entire story as to why and how, and he continues to progress as a leader with his inner battles depicted during each major decision, and it makes him so much more admirable and the story so much more realistic. ❤️Darrow4ever

I want to like this I’m… intrigued? But not sold. I’m having a hard time finding the rhythm of this book. And it just already feels a bit “self-helpy”

This place is so positive I feel too self-conscious to post anything negative about a book. Is that just me? Since the community is still growing it feels like a lot of spotlight on one negative opinion. I wouldn't mind posting a bad review on Goodreads but here I would feel bad 😅

This book is making me realize how tuned out I was in high school Shakespeare units… do I need to refresh to get the full intent? I can’t tell if I’m missing out!

This will be one that sticks with me for years. While I don’t yet (and may never) have the language or experience I need to express all the ways this book moved me, I think this is a must read. I loved listening on Audible. The characters are so rich and you feel like you are right there with them. This book is unlike any I have read thus far and will certainly be reading more from McBride

Okay the story was kind of slow for me but… worth it? I can’t say I agree with Oliver’s decision, but I understand it.
