Coldfire Reread 2021: Black Sun Rising - City of Shadows Recap

[alice_montrose]

This is the wrap-up post for Book One, which introduces us to most of the characters who play an important part in BSR, as well as provides lots and lots of information on the planet Erna.

So... Damien, Senzei and Ciani are on their way to hunt down the creatures that have hurt Ciani, and our mysterious stranger is... doing stuff. (Don;t worry, he's in the next chapter.)

City of Shadows discussion posts:

• Prologue


• Chapter 1


• Chapters 2, 3 and 4


• Chapter 5


• Chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9


• Chapters 10 and 11


• Chapter 12


• Chapters 13 and 14

So, where are you on the reread? Are you reading ahead, or following along chapter by chapter. I'm reading ahead and then will come back to it chapter by chapter.

Anything you want to discuss that you didn't say so far? Missing bits and pieces? Overall impressions? Just leave them in the comments!

And on Saturday we'll continue with chapter 15, the first one of *drum roll please* Night's Keep.

I'm reading ahead, we just found a certain someone being roasted.

Oh no, poor thing! Whatever shall they do? :)))

[shadaras]

I'm reading in chunks, going ahead a little and then waiting for the reread to catch up before I continue on. :) I'm mostly doing this because otherwise I fear I'll lose track of where things happened as far as the reread goes. I'll need to read ahead again soon! I'm excited for the party to really get together!

I read ahead for a few chapters, then fell behind. Need to catch up again ...

I'm very much looking forward to the next part!

ETA: Question - are people keeping track of comments on the older posts?

[rekishi]

I have all but I think the first two tracked in DW in any case in case someone jumps in late. I made a few people buy the books recently (^^; ?) but not sure if they'll join.

[trobadora]

Awesome! ♥

Someone on my flist already read the first book and liked it, but I don't know if they had time to continue yet.

[alice_montrose]

I should get notified for all comments coming in, so if peeps join on early discussions I'll make sure to mention it in the next post, if you think that would help.

[trobadora]

That would be great! ♥

[prettyarbitrary]

I've been adding tracking to the posts but this would be helpful! Thanks!

[alice_montrose]

Will do so, then. :)

[alice_montrose]

No rush, the posts will be here when you're ready. :)

Yeah, I am very much looking forward to Book 2, and Saturday's chapter in particular. *snickers*
