Oh, Books, I Love You So
Jun. 12th, 2006 08:08 pmOkay, see, one of the things that drives me a little crazy about books now is the way they leave me wanting more and yet there is no more because for the most part, people don't do litfic. Which sucks because I need more of these 'verses.
Read Ethan of Athos, finally, and of course I loved; come on, it's a Bujold book, how could I not love it? Really, really want some Ethan/Cee and I actually think I might get some; I think I remember seeing it and passing it up 'cuase I hadn't the book yet?
Also read Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood, both by Patricia Briggs, and OMG, people, go buy them now; they are beauteous. I had to call eight bookstores before I found one that had the second book and you know what? More than worth it. There's magic and intrigue and crazy-awesome plot twists, the kind where you think you know where it's going and then wham, tricked you, but in the best possible way. God, Ward's awesome and I love him, but I almost love Oreg more. I really, really want something from Oreg's POV; you get to read stuff from the POV of several characters, but never Oreg.
Nightlife, by Rob Thurman, is a really, really good book for you if you like unreliable narrators. Mostly because ( spoiler ). It's the author's first novel, and you can tell, but it's still good. The story itself is reminiscent of Supernatural: two brothers hunting/on the run from demons, the elder brother all badass, the younger with creepy supernatural powers.
And there's more, of course, but I haven't got a lot of time, so it'll have to wait.
