I tried to read The Storm Caller over the holiday break, but bailed on it after 10%. Decent writing, horrible use of info dumps, but the thing that really killed it for me was all of the head-jumping. This person, and then this one, and then that one...freak! I just couldn't deal with it. Though BSG has said the ending is superb, I just couldn't make myself slog through it to get to the end. So, I'll probably give the guy another chance after he's written a few more books. Hoping that he gets better. Makes me wonder how much reading in the Fantasy genre the guy does though, because I haven't read very many recent books that let the POV-switch fly. Anyhow.
About halfway through Deadhouse Gates and really liking it. Got another friend of mine hooked on it over the break as well.
And got lots of Amazon love for Christmas. So, I bought:
1) Darker Angels (MLN Hanover aka Daniel Abraham, Urban Fantasy, if you read urban, READ THIS SERIES! Awesome)
2) Neuropath (Scott Bakker's psychopathic thriller, excited to say the least)
3) Belly of the Bow (KJ Parker Fencer series, love the author, and for $4?)
4) Twelve (Jasper Kent, on Kindle as this one is yet to be released in the US)
Excited to read them all.
