If this book is still in your TBR list and you've been just putting if off like I was, you need to pick it and you need to READ IT NOW! You will not regret it. I promise. I feel mad love for this book. Like school girl mad love obsession. I was a little weary to pick it up at first because of all ...

Turns out I hate this book.Initially, I read this book, and I was annoyed. I gave it 3 stars because eh, it wasn't BAD, but THIS? This was the book EVERYONE was telling me to read because I liked fantasy? I was ticked off by that alone to be irritated, but in the years since I've read it, it turns o...

Interesting feature, that with the emoticones. As a part of my recent return to mainstream books, this one sure is a winner. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it. I didn't feel like leaving it for a while to go on with other reads - at least once I properly started it. I like th...

This is a book recommended to me, first by my son's friend and then once my son had read it, by my son. :) It's very readable, very good, different enough to satisfy this jaded fantasy reader and it's really a lot of fun for the most part. The main character, Kvothe is fascinating as an adult,...

This novel takes its own sweet time getting started, puttering around an inn in a small town, bits of exposition about a war and the innkeeper and his assistant being more than meets the eye, etc. It's a good thing this was personally recommended to me by a human being, because the title and the bla...

3.5 of them thar stars. Lemme explain...Those of you who have been following my progress on this book will know that I loved the first two hundred pages. The Name of the Wind is the only fantasy novel to impress me straight out the gate. Tolkien tells great stories with simple language. Sanderson? C...

A few years ago after a friend pointed me to Patrick Rothfuss and Scott Lynch as modern fantasy writers. I remember the sample chapter of The Lies of Locke Lamora (Lynch's first book) quite clearly: it was so unique, so gripping... I've never hit the Buy Now button so quickly. In contrast, my memory...

This book was highly recommended, but lived up to every expectation.It took a while to get rolling (like more fantasy novels that have to build the worlds they live in), but once it did, it really took off. Cannot wait to pick up the next book.
