The Iridescent Peter Ahlstrom
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Books / Re: What are you reading, part 3
« on: June 11, 2010, 07:08:00 AM »I've recently finished:
Quicksilver - Neal Stephenson
13 Things That Don't Make Sense - Michael Brooks (mixing it up with a little nonfiction)
The Painted Man - Peter V. Brett
What did you think of The Painted Man? I thought it was pretty good for a 1st book.
I am just about done with the Amber series. I only have about 50 pages left in the last book.

« on: June 09, 2010, 08:08:15 AM »I honestly doubt Brandon will ever come out and explain everything that is in the cosmere.
At a signing, I asked Brandon if there was going to be anything that would tie all of the books in the Cosmere together and he said that with as many books as he has planned (somewhere around 36 or so) a lot of information would be there, but that he did plan on something that would tie it all together. He didn't say whether it would be a book or what, tho.

I just finished The Warded Man by Peter Brett. It was pretty good for a 1st novel. Good enough that I am reading the sequel The Desert Spear. Next on the list is the Amber series by Zelazny.

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Neverwhere is one of my all time favorites. You may also want to give American Gods by Neil Gaiman a read too. I just reread it and it was better the 2nd time and it was pretty amazing the 1st time.

Rezo, that premise sounds pretty interesting. Too bad it is in Polish only.
I am currently re-reading the Dresden files. Fun easy reads and great characters.

I really like this cover, and when I saw the full wrap-around photo I loved it. It looks awesome!

Yeah, we laughed that he used the word "darkness" like 8 times in 5 sentences and one of them has the word like 3 times. It is gagtastic.

His Dresden series is pretty good and the 1st book of the Alera Codex was fantastic and set up a great world with tons of potential. Unfortunately he got bogged down in the 2nd book and lost me. I set it down over a year ago after having only read about 1/3 of it. I don't know if I will ever restart it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I have it!!! My brother and I had a good laugh over this http://www.amazon.com/Creators-Daniel-M-Dewey/dp/0578026880/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264489074&sr=8-1 one the other night. He found out about it from an old friend, who just happens to be the author.
It was literally all I could do to keep from gagging (no, really, I did gag once or twice). Amazon has a preview so you can read the 1st few pages. If I were actually holding the book in my hands I would have dropped it in the trash after the 1st paragraph. As it was our mutual disgust turned to morbid curiosity. You will just have to check it out to see how bad it truly is.

I read Empire when it 1st came out and liked it. It is definitely not typical OSC fare. It is actually a political/action/suspense thriller ALA Ted Bell (author of the Alexander Hawke spy series). It is very different, but good. I haven't read Hidden Empire yet. It is the sequel.
