That sounds really interessting! Having just finished two series of books (both playing in the same universere) where women rule the most important country, I think I have to continue reading books with good fimel role models!

Pick up the first book, Way of Shadows, when you feel up to it. My bf pestered me into it, but I'm so glad he did. I picked up the first book and intended only to read the first page to see how it was, but I ended up reading the first few chapters before putting it down! It is about assassins but it gets more into magic as it goes on.

My reading list is still pretty long, but I might just see if I like those books as well. One can never read too much.

Currently I am reading "The Fall of Kings" by Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman. I haven't read much until now, just started a few days ago after finishing "Swordspoint" and "The Privilege of the Sword", which both play in the same universe.

I am struggling through book 4 of WoT. I don't know why I bother. This is the third reading attempt.

Grey_Wolf · 07-03-2013, 02:28 AM

I thought WoT longwinded and hard to get into.

I just finished the last WoT book. I was an epic ending to what is in my opinion the greatest fantasy series ever!

I have finally started Game of Thrones. I couldn't decide between starting that series or Wheel of Time... I decided that with a busy semester coming up, GoT was less of a commitment! I will have much more time for reading in only six months

I've read only part of the book, but enough to know that the film was total bogus.

Yeah, it's a title I've heard before.

It's a great read if you like historical sci-fi. And if you're into sci-fi as a whole, it's a must-read and IMO to sci-fi what Tolkien was to fantasy.

I have started Bloodring by Faith Hunter, http://www.amazon.com/Bloodring-Rogu...ords=bloodring since I lovelovelove her Jane Yellowrock stories. Finding it tough sledding though, since Thorn is much less sympathetic (to me) than Janey.
