At last.... The book....
The book.... The book's here at last. No I don't mean Harry Potter, I finished that off a few weeks ago and it was an amusing read.. Not bad but not great either. There I said it. Just a simple observation of mine no flaming please. I still like the story.
Anyways I got meself 2 new books. One I finished reading 2 weeks ago, the new Robin Hobb book, Renegade's Magic, the third book in her excellent Soldier Son Trilogy. This series of her started slow but it built momentum really well and the last book is the most excellent (that also makes it the strangest book :D). I'm not going to spoil anyone who might go and read the trilogy, let's just say it's unrelated to her other books and it has very different ideas and concepts...
The book that caused me to feel giddy isn't Hobb's book though. It's Steven Erikson's latest Malazan Book of The Fallen, Reaper's Gale. Oh I do love the Malazan series. It's excellent. Confusing as hell and excellent. I'll be re-reading the books again after I finish this latest book. He writes in such a way that I only understand a certain comment from book one in the 3rd or 4th book. Tis crazy but really really addictive.
Ah, actually I got a delicious morsel to nibble on before I got these books. George R. R. Martin's The Hedge Knight, a graphic novel. It's a juicy tidbit, not enough to satisfy my Song of Ice and Fire craving but enough to tide me by.
Okay, I'll be offline reading Reaper's Gale. Signing off....
