God, what am I doing? Twisted Citadel is the second book, not the third book of the series! Sheesh! Double sorry!
Oops, I just realised I've just read Sara Douglass' Book "The Twisted Citadel of the DarkGlass Mountain series, not the second book not the third book of the series. Sorry!
Hi!I'm sorry to get back to you so late. Did you I never would? ;) Yes, do read Jennifer Fallon's The Immortal Prince. I've already read the third book of this serial (which I thought might be the last of the trilogy, but no) and I enjoyed it thoroughly and looking forward to the fourth book. I'm also enjoying Sara Douglass' serial on the DarkGlass Mountain -- just read Book 3 (so it's not a trilogy either!). I have discarded a great number of bestselling authors, but these two bestselling fantasy authors have yet to disappoint me! I hope they won't! :)Best,Sanchona
OH it ok! I just thought you didn't like the book but I'm glad you are enjoying it.I know what you mean about amazon.com. I buy so many books from them!
no hockey yet until next month! :)I can never stop reading the Chronicles they've been reread so many times the covers are so worn and the pages are bent at the corners in other words...they're in need of replacement :P I might pick them up again.I've been looking at your shelf you got some real interesting books there! I think I'll see if they're at the library or something to give them a try.I don't mind "Mina" but in those sets of books nearly everybody from the original Chronicles dies...which is why I don't like reading them either. I'm just so attached to the characters. (psst...I even cried when one of them died...embarassing I know...) :P
Do you dislike the writer's style or the character himself? Where are you in the book? Are descriptions regarding medical treatment the problem? I'd like to help but I also don't want to spoil it. But maybe we have different tastes.What is it you are unhappy with?
Well I'm going to suggest my book-The Chronicles of the Virago: Book 1 The Novus. YA-Fantasy, strong female character. If you check out my author page you can get some details.Michael Bialys
Heya!! Thanks so much for the add! Raistlin is such an amazing fantasy figure, and I don't know if you like metal at all but the band "Blind Guardian" wrote a song about Raist called "Soulforged" ;-)
Have you read The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson? It could easily be the best book I've ever read. If you read it, let me know what you think.
Hi there! thanks for the add! I'm taking a look at your shelf you got some books I haven't seen so I might just pick them up. I love anything Dragonlance. Those Chronicles I could read over and over and never get tired of them. It's hard not to get so attached to the characters!
Hi Mmajere! I saw that you were asking about the book Lord Tophet. This is the second book in the Shadowbridge series. The first book is just called Shadowbridge and is a pretty good read - I enjoyed it. It has a lot of imagery. The whole world is an ocean and people live on bridges that span hundreds of miles. It is pretty cool. I recommend it. The second book (Lord Tophet) just came out a few weeks ago.
I still haven't been able to read The Host, unfortunately :( It only recently came out in bookstores here, and I've actually been really really busy directing our Ramayana play, which we just finished today. :D It was a success! XD
I couldn't believe that the Jewels trilogy was her first published work !!! I loved it. I haven't read her latest, but have Belladonna on order. I liked the Fae trilogy too, 'course I have a soft spot for the Fae....... :)
Thanks, at least someone acknowledges that I have a right to my opinion without calling me a moron! The hate mail I've been getting is ridiculous. I don't begrudge anyone for enjoying the book and I certainly don't want to lose friends over it. Thankfully my friends aren't the ones calling me a moron! One day I'll visit Hawaii but right now I have to be satisfied with watching the specials on television. A few days ago I watched one on the volcanoes and how the lava turns the soil into the most fertile in the world. The varied plant an animal life is so amazing when you think about how isolated the islands are from any large body of land. Just beautiful!
Yeah, I've pretty much been dying too. That's why I try to forget the date and I immerse myself in other books. I've been craving some fantasy lately, and so that's helped too, 'cause Breaking Dawn isn't quite the genre I want to read, though I still can't wait!That book was so sad though! I really wish it had ended differently, but at the same time, I'd definitely read it again. It's a good thing I bought the trilogy! And honestly, Snape's death didn't bother me in Harry Potter, but Serius's and Lupin/Tonks's did. And Fred. I can't believe she killed one of the twins! Why couldn't it have been Percy? Yeah, that book made me cry too.If the twist in the High Lord was that she falls in love with Akkarin, that didn't surprise me at all. I knew from the start that he would be good, and I figured that she'd be the one to find out after she went to live with him. I also knew that Snape was always good. I'm pretty good at predicting the ends of stories...that's why I like books with huge shockers at the end of them :). I saw the movie Hancock and I couldnt' predict a THING. Which is why I loved it.
Hi, thanks for the friend invite. I've read all the Twilight saga books so far and can't wait for Breaking Dawn. Lucky you! You live in Hawaii! My family and I were just talking about visiting there one day!
Hi. :) You've interested me with the Host. I have no idea what it's really like, and I don't think I've ever seen it in the book stores around here.. Should I read it? Where can I find it? Is there an online version? :)
I thought The Host was VERY good. I hope she writes more in that world. As far as audiobooks are concerned, no I don't think they are better. Maybe more convenient would be the way to look at it. I still prefer holding a book in my hands, it's just with my job being as busy as it is I get more reading done if I do it by audiobook. I love telling people at work to leave me alone, I'm reading. :)
I just finished listening to The Host. I hope she writes more books in this series. Umm, I haven't picked up any of the other "Twilight" books yet cause I haven't finished reading Twilight yet. At the rate I'm going I may have to break down and get the audiobook.
