books.....

I have a lot to catch up on. A little while ago, I read The Light-bearer's Daughter, (which is the sequel to The Summer King). I think it was the best it the series. There's one more, called The Book of Dreams.

Still plodding through The Great Hunt. It's going very slowly, but I'm sticking with it, because--if the first book was any gauge-- it will have an awesome ending. The books are very well written, though, and the story is very intricate, like a delicate web: a complicated pattern. Characters you meet in passing in the first book will suddenly pop up in the second book, and have a roll of their own, instead of a roll supporting the main characters.

I could write a lot more, but I need to go to bed.
Peace favour you.

The Wheel of Time series

I am reading the first one in this series-- called The Eye of the World-- and just loving it. The plot is kind of hard to explain: it's basically just one big, prolonged chase. (actually, I haven't figured out what the plot is yet). It has the typical fantasy good against evil, dark against light thing going on. But that's fantasy for you. IT IS SO GOOD! Oh yeah, and the author is Robert Jordan.
Two more things: there's twelve book in the series!!! Woot! And if you are going to look for the books in the library, look in the adult section. (and did I mention that it was good?)

Over and out.

The Summer King

Well, I finished the sequel to The Hunters Moon. (the sequel is The Summer King... well, duh). It was very good. I was kind of disappointed that it didn't follow Gwen's story: No, we had an entirely different character: Laurel. But it followed the same story line... sort of. And Laurel was a cool character, so it was all right. And it was a good book!

Over and out.

new author & more books!

Hey, all! I just discovered a new author: T.A. Barron. He is an amazing storyteller. I am reading his book Child of the Dark Prophecy, first in The Great Tree of Avalon series. It's so good, I'm almost glued to it! I'll write a review when I'm done. He's also written The Lost Years of Merlin series which also looks good. You can view his website here.

Peace to all.

Greetings all!

Hello, all! This is my first post on my crazy new blog! :) In this blog, I will mostly be talking about fantasy books, because that's what I love to read. But that's not all! There will be pictures, links to cool sites, and rambling. I'm still learning, so please bear with me!

May the stars watch over you.
