in book reviews 1 comment the founders trilogy by robert jackson bennett sancia grado is a thief and a damn good one and her latest target a heavily guarded warehouse on tevanne s docks is nothing her unique abilities can t handle but unbeknownst to her sancia s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving the merchant houses who control this magic the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience have already used it to transform tevanne into a vast remorseless capitalist machine but if they can unlock the artifact s secrets they will rewrite the world itself to suit their aims now someone in those houses wants sancia dead and the artifact for themselves and in the city of tevanne there s nobody with the power to stop them to have a chance at surviving and at stopping the deadly transformation that s under way sancia will have to marshal unlikely allies learn to harness the artifact s power for herself and undergo her own transformation one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined for the reading challenge s 2026 52 book club reading challenge prompt 24 uneven number of chapters in book 1 the reason i d read the first couple of books a few years ago but never finished the series i remember enjoying it though and i m rereading all of them to refresh my memory and finally finish it the quotes they said i was one thing but i have changed my mind traditional she echoed what a curious word that is so bland and yet often so poisonous gregor dandolo did his utmost to follow the laws both the laws of the city and his own moral laws of the universe but more and more these days one seemed to disagree with the other reality doesn t matter if you can change something s mind enough it ll believe whatever reality you choose the narrator s tara sands she was wonderful i love all her voices and characterizations my thoughts book 1 foundryside i don t usually remember very many details of books i ve read especially ones i read years ago but for some reason i remembered more than usual about this book sancia s abilities clef s personality the way they connected with each other and then how they joined forces with gregor orso berenice and everyone else it was all very exciting for me and i loved how the characters personalities worked and clashed with each other in such organic ways my favorite thing about this book was how everyone had their own agendas and how messy they all were in each of their own ways and how reluctant they were to work with each other but became allies out of necessity i got very invested in all of the characters and i wanted to know what happened next for them book 2 shorefall although this is also a reread i didn t remember as much about it as the first book in the series i did check my notes from my first read and apparently i was a little disappointed because it didn t give me what i wanted out of it spoiler i wanted to see more about how the main characters build their foundry together worked together strengthening their relationships using their skills and outwitting the other foundries i also felt like we didn t see enough of clef until much later rereading it now i feel the same way but i went in trying to be more open minded about what we actually got and i was able to get behind what actually went down the story this time was still very exciting and much bigger than previously there are a lot more magical constructs and inventions that i thought was incredibly imaginative and a little complicated for me but it works for the story i stopped here the first time i read this series but at this point i m still in it and i m excited to finally read the last book book 3 locklands i just finished the book and i am very sorry to say i am very disappointed with it in fact i was already disappointed with the second book but trying to give the series the benefit of the doubt i hoped this book would bring the story home but i felt like it really lost focus and meaning and i didn t even know what we re reading anymore i kept hoping it would finish strong but at about 80 of the book it got so difficult for me to get through that i seriously considered a dnf i didn t because it s hard to let go of the last 20 of the last book after i ve read everything before it so i pushed through i m glad i finished so that i can know for sure that i don t like it but i am really disappointed it turned out this way also i promise i m not doing this out of pettiness but i d like to talk about the editing of the book the overuse of rather and the manner of speaking it wasn t like this rather it was like that happens a lot another one was the use of wasn t it aren t i can t you etc as in i can do this can t i the worst is going to happen isn t it obviously these are normal ways of speaking but it happened a lot and at weird places in the conversation narration and with different characters it s possible that these happened in the first two books as well but i didn t notice as much because it s a gradual buildup and i only noticed after being exposed for three books and or i was more immersed in the stories in the first two books and bored with the third so i notice its flaws more either way it s still a disappointment i loved the concept the world building and the magical system in this series but the story now seems so trivial and meaningless to me my rating 5 stars an overall rating for the series have you read this book would you read this book did you like the book or do you think you would like it tags 3 stars fantasy foundryside magic robert jackson bennett top ten tuesday books set in rome posted april 6 2026 by haze in top ten tuesday weekly book memes 29 comments welcome to top ten tuesday a weekly bookish meme hosted by jana that artsy reader girl that features a different bookish topic every week today s topic is books about set in places on my bucket list i m in so much trouble my plan for this week s list was to list a few books for places on my bucket list as per instructions and i had a few different places in mind like i wanted to visit the colosseum in rome the great wall of china niagara falls and so on well i started with rome and did my search for books featuring rome and ended up with so many new books on my tbr what s worse some of them are series what s even worse some of them are long running series with seven or more books so obviously i stopped searching for any other books featuring my other bucket list places because i cannot afford this you ll have to make do with just books about rome top ten books set in rome from the ashes by melissa addey the author has written another series the forbidden city set in china that i m also interested in and have on my tbr there are four books in this series spqr by mary beard this is nonfiction and seems to be very highly recommended i ve already put in a request for it from my library four seasons in rome by anthony doerr this is a memoir that i m interested in because i have another book by the author on my tbr as well all the light we cannot see the first man in rome by colleen mccullough the author of the thorn birds with such high ratings for these books on goodreads and seven books in the series under the eagle by simon scarrow 25 freaking books in the series to be fair i already had this book on my tbr for a while but i d forgotten about it and i didn t know there were 25 books in the series pompeii by robert harris thank the gods this is a standalone it might be the only standalone on this list other than the nonfics the ides of april by lindsey davis 13 books in this series not as bad as 25 but still painful on my purse mistress of rome by kate quinn it s kate quinn and i d been wanting to read more of her books i didn t know she wrote historical fiction about rome but i am so here for it four books in this series the eagle of the ninth by rosemary sutcliff this is the first of eight books in a series they were apparently not written as a series but they are categorized as one so we ll see the light bearer by donna gillespie so this is the only book on the list i ve read and loved it s one of my all time favorite books and i reread it all the time and recommend it to everyone i can because it s criminally underrated it s also a duology but i haven t read the second book if you re a fan of historical fiction set in rome and haven t read any of these books i highly recommend you read this one have you read any of these authors what did you think of them would you read any of their books tags ancient rome historical fiction rome tbr list top ten tuesday book review replay by ken grimwood posted

each lifetime had been different as each choice is always different unpredictable in its outcome or effect yet those choices had to be made jeff thought he d learned to accept the potential losses in the hope that they would be outweighed by the gains the only certain failure he knew and the most grievous would be never to risk at all all life includes loss it s taken me many many years to learn to deal with that and i don t expect i ll ever be fully resigned to it but that doesn t mean we have to turn away from the world or stop striving for the best that we can do and be we owe that much to ourselves at least and we deserve whatever measure of good may come of it the narrator s william dufris it was okay no complaints my thoughts i tried reading this book some years ago and dnf d at about 20 in and i probably wouldn t have picked it up again if it wasn t because my bookclub chose this for our march botm i decided to try again and i m so glad i did because it got more and more interesting the deeper i got into it it got me thinking a lot and asking a lot of questions about how i would live my own life lives if i had to live it over and over again i would definitely memorize all the lottery numbers that s a given but once money is taken care of what would i do of importance it s so interesting to see how the author navigates this thought experiment with jeff and pamela and the choices they make each time they relive their lives i don t feel like we get any real answers in the end but i think that s sort of the point we never really ever get a real answer to the meaning of life this book made me think but it also made me feel deeply i imagine that even though they were able to relive their lives there must be some grief for everything they lose each time they do i m glad i tried again because this was a great book and i think it will be one i ll likely reread my rating 5 stars have you read this book would you read this book did you like the book or do you
