FeatherWriter Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Aw. Sad to hear it. I'll probably keep reading them though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayde Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 It's definitely worth the read even if Soldiers of Halla was a let down. There are so many amazing moments in that series. The Raven Rise climax was just... holy crap. Definitely worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 My goal ended on my birthday, I'll give you guys the lowdown on that one later. Right now, though, I have four days to finish the last Harry Potter book before I go see it on Friday morning. I finished the sixth one a few hours ago and am three chapters into Deathly Hallows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Just finished reading Patrick Rothfus The name of the Wind. Wow. That book was very good to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprouts Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Just finished reading Patrick Rothfus The name of the Wind. Wow. That book was very good to say the least. I finished The Name of the Wind a couple of days ago. Went straight on to The Wise Man's Fear, which I finished in one day. Safe to say I enjoyed it quite a bit . Right now I'm getting ready to start GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire for the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I read The Warded Man by Peter V Brett. It was an intersting read. Finished it within 4 days and started Wiseman's fear. Enjoying WF so far, drastically slower for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silus - Shard of Flame Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I finished Scott Pilgrim today. I really enjoyed it. The ending was kind of a mess, but it was really, really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I was impressed by Peter Brett for shorter books. I just finished all of the Alcatraz novels and realized that I had bought Warbreaker but never read the book. I have on my list to try Louis Bjold after I'm done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasnah the Hidden Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Finished A Dance With Dragons on the 16th and just finished Ghost Story. Both very good reads but you need to have read the preceding books to get the story. Edited July 28, 2011 by Jasnah the Hidden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silus - Shard of Flame Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I picked up Silverheart by Micheal Moorcock from the library, because I read it a few years ago and remember enjoying it immensely. It's pretty good so far. A little infodumpy in places, but really good. I can't help but think of Allomancy A LOT while reading this, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Finished Wise Mans Fear. It was good, kind of what I expected. It was longer than needed probably but Rothfuss is amazing at his ability to tell a story beautifully. Now reading Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett. Then trying to decide what I should read next. It will either be the Night Angel Trilogy, re-reading Mistborn or White Sand. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthless Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Finished Wise Mans Fear. It was good, kind of what I expected. It was longer than needed probably but Rothfuss is amazing at his ability to tell a story beautifully. Now reading Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett. Then trying to decide what I should read next. It will either be the Night Angel Trilogy, re-reading Mistborn or White Sand. Any thoughts? Yeah, it was longer than it needed to be to tell the story, but to my mind it's embodying one of its not-so-subtle themes. It does suffer from a bit of what Robert Jordan came down with in the later books of WoT - letting beautiful storytelling get in the way of the story - but, can a novel ever really suffer for that? It depends what you're looking to get out of a book, I suppose. I definitely struggled with my interest to continue into the Wheel of Time around Winter's Heart, but Wise Man's Fear kept an uncomfortably firm grip on me all the way through. Maybe it's to do with the length of the series? From the beginning of Wise Man's Fear, you can see the end, even if it's a thousand or so pages distant. But with the Wheel of Time - at the time I was reading - I had no idea if how long the series would go on, and if I had another ten steadily-plodding books to look forward to. Sorry, rambling. Both series are fabulous. I will be getting my hands on Towers of Midnight very soon now - haven't been able to keep to my decision to wait until closer to AMoL one bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Now reading Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett. Then trying to decide what I should read next. If you're trying to read the complete series there are two short stories as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
