Lord's debut had no interest for me and I am looking forward to her new book in early 2014 which is also sf - liked the writing, heroine and cultures, though I agree the book could have done with a little tightening<br /><br />Not a fan of R. Jordan series - tried a few times for the fame and never could read more than 50 pages as I found the writing mediocre at best, while i think that reading cereal box labels or even 100 pages of the same repeated sentence a much more profitable experience than reading Terry Goodkind<br /><br />Took a look at the Hitler book but thought it weak and written more for sensation than anything else...<br /><br />The most disappointing releases of the year for me, were Republic of Thieves and Luminous Chaos (the sort of sequel to the superb Aurorarama), while I found the acclaimed Goldfinch addictive but kind of disappointing in the endLiviuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405766065227026noreply@blogger.com
