I do realize that but, I've read it before so it's not so bad. Thanks for the heads up though.
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: How many books to do you read?
« on: January 31, 2008, 01:10:57 AM »
I've usually got at least two, though right now I think I have about five. I usually have one main one that I read and then some that I can get in a data format to read at work where I can't be seen with an actual book but, most of those I am rereading so it's not hard to keep the stories straight.

Well, this is new. The last I'd heard was that it was going to be on HBO so that they wouldn't have to edit the story as much. That was, of course, only rumor, nothing official. This is the first I've heard about it since Raimi and Goodkind got together over a year ago.

I, basically, can't stand Katherine Kurtz. It's not that I dislike the story or that she isn't a good author. It's her writing style and the pace of her books, they just rub me the wrong way.

I admit I'm of the opinion that the whole "Hiro goes back in time" plot wasn't worth Adam's backstory. The ancient Japan stuff just dragged.
I agree with you for the most part. However, I think that the purpose for going back was two fold; first, Adams back story, second, to show that Hiro was actually the hero he had idolized as a child.

And I was hoping for some more interesting character development from Sylar, but he's still just a creepy psycho. He's good at it, but it's just the same thing as last season. I guess we'll see where it goes.Just an interesting side note, Zachary Quinto, Sylar, will be playing Spock on the next Star Trek movie, currently in the works.

« on: November 29, 2007, 03:54:24 AM »Well, something I wanted to bounce off of you all, was the powers of those in the Company. It was stated that the Company was formed so that those who are in the Company could use their powers to help the world. I was guessing that everyone in the Company had powers, but there hasn't been evidence of that with several of them, such as Hiro's father, the guy (I forgot his name) who Peter was taking care of in the beginning of season one, and the Patrelli's mother. I just wonder if they have powers that haven't been revealed yet, or what.
So, what was the date that Peter jumped to in the future? I forgot already. Just wondering how long until that is supposed to happen.
Angela Patrelli, and others of the Company, have alluded to having powers. The abilities of Kaito Nakamura and Charles Deveaux may never be revealed though, there is always a chance. Angela and some of the others still living may yet reveal their powers. We do know the powers of a few though, like Linderman's healing, Bob's ability to change things to gold, and Maury Parkman's ability so like his son's.
As for the time that Peter went to, it was about a year in the future, however, the virus had been released about ten or eleven months before that.
The heroes have their work cut out for them.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Warbreaker: Free Ebook
« on: July 11, 2007, 06:05:48 PM »
I just finished Warbreaker. Its an awesome book. I absolutely loved it. I do have a couple of questions though. They may have been answered already and if thats the case feel free to refer me to the proper place as I haven't yet had time to read through the back posts yet.
First, has Vasher found a way around needing a breath every week as a Returned?
Next, when Vivenna was practicing her Awakening she tried to use a tree for color but was unable to, I had assumed that currently living things could not be used, and yet Vasher was able to use the grass in the fight in the Court of the Gods. Could anyone shed any light on that for me?

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Belated Congratulations on Elantris
« on: June 01, 2007, 06:36:00 AM »
I'd like to add my congratulations to the pot. I enjoyed Elantris immensely. Then I read Mistborn and was blown away again. Now I'm reading an ARC copy of The Well Of Ascension and I have to say, wow! Don't worry, I won't ruin it for anyone, but so far its looking to be at least as good if not better than the first. So, well done Brandon and keep up the good work.
