Does anyone else get the impression that Draco will end up turning to the "good side"? In my opinion, much of his hatred and aggression has been bred into him by his father, and there are moments when he almost seems to doubt what he's doing. It's like he is realizing that as he gets older...

Err, is this workshop over now?

Hey Trimac, Apart from some spelling mistakes, I appreciate the effort, and the glimpse into your world. However, maybe you should try to simplify the synopsis a little bit, as I am a little bit confused by a couple of things. 1. "An angeless kingdom..." implies that the absence of angels...

Great, thats very helpful. Since I live in Canada, I've still got to wait another 23 days before amazon ships my copy of TBH. I was hoping that it would deal more with the Edur, but I guess I'll have to be disappointed for now.

Here, I'll give this a shot. I am trying to get into writing, so forgive my clumsiness. My first attempt at making something believable and exciting, but I fear I may be missing that oomph off the start... Prologue – The Old Planet The last forests of the old world are terrifying things...

I really enjoyed this entire series with the exception of the latest installment, Midnight Tides. Eriksson's writing has begun to resemble Terry Pratchett's a little to much for my liking in this one... oh well, personal bias. I really like Pratchett :) That aside, I guess I've gotten a little...

Ok, so I'm in the process of re-reading Gene Wolfe's New Sun series. And I have some questions for debate. There will be SPOILERS below, so beware. *************SPOILERS***************** Dorcas. I have to admit that Dorcas has always confused me. When we first meet her, and she is...

Hello, I'm pretty new too (to posting). McCaffery rocked my socks when I was first getting in to Sci-fi and fantasy. Her and Madeleine L'Engle were probably the two writers that were most influential to me, and made me go "I want to read more of this stuff!!!" (uhh, as a disclaimer, I think I...

I think basically Gaiman is getting recognized for all these awards because his earlier works (eg. Sandman) did not receive much critical attention (except for World Fantasy Award.) Now he's the coolest kid on the street, everyone has awknowledged how awesome his earlier works were, so everyone...

Funny, you should mention - I currently have Peace and Cerberus on order from amazon.ca. hehehe I also really quite enjoyed Latro in the Mists. The way that Wolfe constantly explores heritage/memory and how these are tied to identity really fascinates me. Severian - orphan, parentage...

Hmm, As an avid Wolfe-r I have to admit I find his whole writing style very engrossing. I think it may be because my background in Classical Studies and Medieval Studies, so I am almost more to the rich history that he develops than to the actual progression of the characters in it. The...

I agree with the previous poster that the majority of the scenes are focussing on character development and are telling someone about the person through the description of the act, that is essential to the story. I think this is never more haert-wrenching and more clear than the example of...

Re: Jon Snow For me, the clearest indicator that Jon is someone extremely important comes from the Eddard sequence in A Game of Thrones after his leg has been broken. He is remembering when he had gone up to the Tower to face the last 3 members of the Kingsguard. Has anyone discussed before...
