    Do you still like the series?

    Reaper's Gale started slowly but I think it developed into a good book by the halfway mark, though it remains my second least favourite. That makes it sound bad, but honestly it's just that most of the other books were fantastic. The only book in the series I actively disliked was Dust of Dreams.

    Which books do you wish you could read for the first time...again?

    Definitely the First Law Trilogy; some of the best twists I've read.

    May's Manic Meanderings Into Marvellously Mystical Manuscripts

    Reading has quite definitely slowed down recently, but I managed to finish Chris Wooding's The Iron Jackal. A very good book by an author that gets quite noticeably better with every release. Next up I plan to finally get around to Abercrombie's Red Country.

    Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone by Greg Keyes

    Switching characters for chapters isn't really that uncommon; Martin, Erikson, Bakker, Williams, Wurts. They all do it, that's just off the top of my head.

    Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone by Greg Keyes

    Just finished reading The Born Queen earlier today in fact. Like everyone else the ending didn't sit well with me, but I enjoyed the last book as a whole. Definitely one of the better series I've read in the last year.

    Turn Coat Read. *SPOILERS!*

    Finished reading it earlier today, and to be honest I felt a little underwhelmed. Not to say it wasn't a good read because it definitely was, but it didn't match up to some of the higher points of the series in my opinion. I liked a lot of the elements about it, the notion of claiming...

    Anyone else disappointed with Lies of Locke Lamora/Ash?

    April's Amazing Adventures in Fiction

    Currently reading The Warrior Prophet by R. Scott Bakker. After the whirlwind that was The Darkness That Comes Before I kind of feel like the pace has slowed to about nothing. I'm just over 100 pages in and have gone from eagerly reading chapter after chapter to forcing myself to slug through...

    Discovered Authors 2009

    Roger Zelazny Neil Gaiman Guy Gavriel Kay R. Scott Bakker My list of discovered authors this year and it's only April! It's been a good haul, though I'd have to pit Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber series as my best read so far.

    What are you looking forward to in 2009?

    I picked up a signed copy of Red Seas straight off the shelf in Waterstones ~one month after it first came out for the usual RRP. I count myself damn lucky.

    Books that oddly don't catch you

    Strange enough, I tried the much revered Fifth Head of Cerberus but I really just couldn't take it. Stayed with it for the first hundred or so pages but just got bored.

    Actually, wouldn't Hood have personally taken his soul if he was sworn? Like what happened in RG.

    Ever had to put a book down for a little while because something in it startled you?

    Re: Ever had to put a book down for a little while because something in it startled y Happens to me quite often actually. I stop for a few minutes and ponder what exactly just happened. [/COLOR] That being the most recent occurance.
