What are you Reading Now?

I'm getting back into The Sorcerer's Path by Brock Deskins. (First book is The Sorcerer's Ascension.)

It is, honestly, rough around the edges, you can tell this is the author's first series. With that said, however, he weaves a heck of a tale, and I quite enjoyed them on the first read-through, and can't wait to get to the books he's added that I haven't read yet.

 

This month I'm going to start the Kingkiller Trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss, I haven't been excited about reading in a long, long time so hopefully it's as good as they say.

 

You are in for a wonderful read, my friend. I just wish he'd finish the durned thing.

 

In my experience, it's far from uncommon for the second book of a trilogy to fall short. Usually the third makes up for it.

 

I'm reading the Tales of the Otori books by Lian Hearn. The best I can describe them is that they're kinda like a shorter, PG-13 Game of Thrones set in fantasy Japan. I've finished the first book, and it's good, even if the plot didn't go the way I wanted it to. The books are a bit darker than what I usually read and I'm not big on bittersweet endings, but I decided to try something new.

 

A clash of kings.(GOT II)

 

I read the first one and, well, let's just say I'm not rushing out to buy the second.

 

What didn't you like?

 

Hard to pin down. It may just be that it's not my kind of fantasy.

 

Recently got through H. Beam Piper's The Fuzzy Papers and Piers Anthony's Night Mare, and soon I'm going to start on Claire C. Marshall's The Violet Fox.

 

I'm reading, Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. It's about a wizard detective solving crimes in modern London. Described as 'What would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Fuzz' by the Sunday Times. It seems quite good so far, although I think I prefer Harry Potter.

I've just finished reading the first Cassandra Clare book of The Mortal Instruments Series. I had to read it twice to work out the plot. I've got the series so will probably read the rest. I usually read more than one book at a time.

 

I vaguely but fondly remember the Fuzzies.

 

Hi,

Awesome reading list Ireth. I love the fuzzies and Night Mare was a great Xanth novel. Maybe I'm just saying that because I'm hitting the comfort reads myself at the moment. So I just pulled the seven Lensmen books by Doc Smith off the shelves the other night. Got through Triplanetary last night - when I was supposed to be writing! (Isn't it great when tv sucks!)

Cheers, Greg.
