Just finished reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter, really enjoyed it, I love the premise and humour, will definitely be reading more and watching the series
Finished my first Dexter book, really enjoyed it! love the dark humour and the insights into his thoughts. Will certainly be reading more. I haven't seen any of the series yet either.
OK thanks I will have a look. One I found is Weirdspace: The Devil's Nebula by Eric Brown. Only one out at the moment but looks like it will be a series.
all good I hope
I was wondering if you or VF know of a light-hearted non-continuous sci-fi series? Something along the lines of Sharpe (in space) or Firefly. Something like that would be great fun I reckon.
It was Queen of Sorcery, but she didn't do much. Much more of her in MG, probably my favourite character, can't wait to see what happens with her. Silk was also brilliant in this book, lots of nose twitching
Magician's Gambit by David Eddings
Review.
not too much I can say about this that hasn't already been covered in the previous two reviews. The whole series feels like one book/story split into 5 parts as oppose to some series such as Mistborn where every book as an overall story arc. Every addition is another leg in the quest to reclaim the Orb of Aldur and this one does let down. The fastest pace of them so far, it kicks the action up a gear as well as expanding the magic, religions and races. The characters develop further and become even more lovable which I didn't think was possible at this point. Another brilliant addition to an already brilliant series.
Overall 9/10
Read the third book of The Belgariad - Magician's Gambit. Brilliant stuff, certainly picked up the pace a lot.
Also listened to a good few hours of 11.22.63 by Stephen King and it is absolutely amazing so far. Some great nostalgic references to his earlier books including my favourites, Christine and IT.
Going to finally start my first Adam Nevill book - Banquet for the Damned.
Got a few more books from eBay today.
Apartment 16 - Adam Nevill
Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay
Dragonsinger and The White Dragon - Anne McCaffrey
Saw Moneyball, Brad Pitt was amazing with a thoroughly convincing performance. Still have no idea how Jonah Hill got an Oscar nomination for his supporting role, he wasn't bad but the role was very passive and undemanding.
