DSC01 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That's a sample cover from Monstress. Yes, it's a cover, but the art on the inside is exactly the same: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliasSheep Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 My latest book haul consists of: The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks A Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M. Banks Hyperion by Dan Simmons And Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson The culture series is definitely going to be my next port of call after I read the rest of the Kim Stanley Robinson books I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC01 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I got Duskfall and Good Omens today. I've never read Good Omens before, despite its enormous popularity, and I heard some good things about Duskfall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I picked up the second book in the legacy fleet series the other day. Its an interesting series so far. Anyone else read it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattig89ch Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I know I'm posting back to back, but this is the rate I consume audio books. So I finished the legacy fleet trilogy. And I would recommend it to anyone interested in scifi. The story line got rather convoluted at the end, but it was still a good series. I learned about some dragon age books, contracted by EA, to expand the universe (and squeeze some extra cash from the series). And the first book is oddly compelling. Its about how King Marrick got this throne (everyone who played origins knows how he lost it). I'm not normally into fantasy books, or games, so thats why its odd to me. But dragon age is the exception in most things it does, so why should this be any different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Wait @mattig89ch you say you're not usually into fantasy books, yet you're here on the official fansite of Brandon Sanderson, one of today's premier fantasy authors. Is Brandon just the exception for you then? And to stay on topic, I recently bought hardcopies of Caitlyn McFarland's Dragonsworn trilogy so I can get them signed if ever I get the chance to meet her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yep, I know. I didn't know what I was getting into with alloy of law. I figured it'd be a western esque, steampunk novel. Never even heard of mistborn till I read that novel. I haven't read anything else by Mr. Sanderson though, just the Alloy of Law series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattig89ch Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Nope, I have no idea what y'all are talking about most of the time. But I know how easy it is to get into one of Mr. Sanderson novels. I just can't wait till the next alloy of law book, and metal bending in space. That right there, will be an amazing concept. Besides, I'm either in here, or in the alloy of law sub forums. I don't go anywhere else on this forum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 @Orlion Determined Whaaaat? Jealous! I keep trying to find an opportunity to meet her but nothing's worked out yet. I was super annoyed when I realized we'd both been at one of Brandon's signings in Orem without knowing it until afterward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a cover, but the art on the inside is exactly the same: I picked up the first issue of Monstress, and found it a little hard to follow. It's definitely a fleshed out world, right off the bat... so you'd recommend picking up the trade, then? ...oh, right. Books I bought. Uh... Well, I've been buying comic books, but only as singles, so I don't think that counts. So far as actual novels go, though, I picked up an english copy of the first Baccano! novel. Haven't started it yet, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next one, Midnight Tides, might be my favorite one. MT is a very divisive book, much like the entire malazan series, most either love it or hate it. It is different in that it introduces the third big storyline, has no brideburners, and everything takes place in a whole new continent with a brand new cast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well, I finished the first dragon age book and picked up the second one. The ending was a bit sad, but compelling none the less. There are some clashes with the first game though. All in all, worth getting. As it did help to round out Logain and Marrik. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
