Asperity he/him Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I finally finished the main Revelation Space trilogy and the last side story in Galactic North (last RS story chronologically.) I loved it all. I'm currently reading The Prefect which is set in the same universe.
kaladamSB he/him Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Argent did you feel that King was much much better than Prince was? I have yet to read Emperor, but I remember not being very impressed by Prince, and I'm easily entertained.
DanTheSeamonster he/him Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I am currently reading; Elantris, Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchet and currently trying to decide what else to read from my ever increasing to be read pile.
Argent he/him Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Argent did you feel that King was much much better than Prince was? I have yet to read Emperor, but I remember not being very impressed by Prince, and I'm easily entertained. I felt like a progression to me. King was better than Prince, Emperor was better than King. My main issue with King of Thorns was the jagged narrative - I mentioned it somewhere (in my Goodreads review, maybe?), but it took some time getting used to the three - four, really - timelines. Finished Prince of Fools a couple of days ago. I definitely liked it better than Prince of Thorns, but it's still not quite a 5-star book for me. I also wish there was more Builders lore in it... after Jorg running into Builders' technology every few chapters, barely seeing any throughout the entire book left me wanting Reading The Way of Kings 2002 from Altered Perceptions now.
traceria she/her Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I'm going to be odd here (no fantasy or even sci-fi) and say I'm reading an old school mystery by Rex Stout. The specific novel in question is Too Many Cooks and is part of the Nero Wolfe (the detective) series. I'm a lover of classic whodunits, and this definitely qualifies. So entertaining! (I default to whodunit mysteries when life is too busy and I need something that is easy yet entertaining reading.)

LSU Tiger he/him Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I just listened to Circle of Reign: The Dying Lands Chronicle, Book 1 Written by: Jacob Cooper it was very good and read by Michael Kramer so the performance was flawless 1

Hamilton.
Briar King Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 500+ pgs in 1st Man in Rome by Colleen Mchulah and it just extremely epic imo! I can't put it down!
Delightful Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Just finished Eye of the World! That only took me 6 months...
Gabriele she/her Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Guess my source was faulty It sounded much cooler being 3rd It's more like that Wikipedia list is faulty. Zettels Traum is never coming even close to War and Peace.
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I finished Shadows of Self. Oh man. 10
Iarwainiel I she/her Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I just finished the new Peculiar Crimes Unit mystery by Christopher Fowler - "Bryant & May and the Bleeding Heart." It's #10 in this series. Arthur Bryant and John May are octogenarian detectives in London who solve crimes that hover on the brink of the paranormal. May is a polished gentlemen and very up-to-date; Bryant is a crusty old fellow whose (dis)ability with technology approaches the level of a Smedry Talent. Finely drawn characters, plot twists, dialogue that's both realistic and often laugh-out-loud funny - - I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
The Rooster he/him Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I finished Shadows of Self. Oh man. Troll! 1
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Finished Toll the Hounds the other day (finally). Not my favorite Malazan book, definitely different, but I still really enjoyed it, particularly the ending. I am going to read Mitosis now to get myself into a Reckoners mood before Firefight. Certainly a different type of story and writing style after reading a Malazan book...
AerionBFII he/him Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Gems to ease the pain of The SA wait in series; Lightbringer by Brent Weeks Night Angel by Brent Weeks The Unhewn Throne by Brian Staveley Ravens Shadow by Anthony Ryan The Red Queens War by Mark Lawrence The Iron Druid by Kevin Hearne
Argent he/him Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Haven't read anything in a few weeks, but now I plan to make my way through this list of the best fantasy books of 2014. The ones I've read, I agree with, so the rest might fit my taste just as well.
Briar King Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Finished Toll the Hounds the other day (finally). Not my favorite Malazan book, definitely different, but I still really enjoyed it, particularly the ending. I am going to read Mitosis now to get myself into a Reckoners mood before Firefight. Certainly a different type of story and writing style after reading a Malazan book... That was by far my least fav Malazan bk! I struggled to get through it which was just crazy compared to me devouring all the others.
Dunkum he/him Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm working my way through the Dangerous Women anthology. I have already read the 2 stories that I wanted it for ("Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell" and "The Princess and the Queen") and am currently trying to finish up the rest so I can move onto the Warriors anthology.
chale10913 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 i just started reading the powder mage trilogy by Brian Mclellan, I'm just about done with the first book, its really good so far though, after the first book i will probably take 3 days and read firefight then get back to the series. 1
Briar King Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Finished 1st Man in Rome last night. Kinda epic I'd say. It was stealler! I'm jumping right into bk 2 The Grass Crown.
