For fireflyz:
I haven't read them yet, but the reviewers seem to really like Adrian Tchaikovsky's series starting with EMPIRE IN BLACK AND GOLD. It's on my to-read list after WoT is finished. The first book may be a bit rough, I've read, but they apparently improve as they go and the latest was well-received. I can't remember how many books there are so far or how many are expected, but I plan to read them all.
I really enjoyed Dan Wells' I Am Not a Serial Killer. It was a perfect thriller/character study for a final summer read. I can't recommend it enough for brilliant insight into the mind of a moral sociopath. Dan's writing style is fresh and occasionally beautiful. His apparent love of poetry shows and his humor is pitch perfect. Completely reliable content, though a bit too gory for some. Not for me.
I am also enjoying the delicious Patricia McKillip's Alphabet of Thorn. Some of it is a bit acid-trippy, but the whole thing is intriguing and mostly reliable content-wise. Thanks again, Mrs. Nessa, for the great steer in her direction!
