Finished up Forge of the High Mage yesterday. All the previous posters are correct. Esslemont's writing has gotten worse. I'll probably still slog through his remaining books but it's only because I don't like bailing on the world I love. Need to Erikson to release another Karsa book to cleanse...

Agree on the tapes. Episode 9 this week was good. Looking forward to next week.

I've been watching season 2. Still a good show. The first 7 episodes are out. Anyone else watching weekly or waiting for the entire season to drop first?

And paving the way for a cold iron enigma.

El's Drinker was the tits.

I liked season 4 overall. I just wish they would've acted like the CIA and merced everyone involved with the plot.

Bump. S4 has been good so far. 4 eps in and it's been entertaining. Pena has been good.

Finished 'Yumi and the Nightmare Painter,' the new secret novel. It was interesting and had a good concept. I wonder if there will be more books set in that world.

S4 first two episodes of Jack Ryan make it look like the season could be quite good. We'll see.

I finished my read and of ICE's original run of books, Night of Knives through Assail. Speed read through a good chunk of Assail. It was nice to see some loose ends tied but the quality difference was hard to get through. Bringing back a very important character wasn't that great to see.

I'm reading the Esslemont books for the first time. Enjoying them since you see different areas of the world. Also, some characters from Erikson. He's just not as good or funny as Erikson. Glad I bought the books, but I don't know about any re-reads. Seeing Korel, Assail, and Jacuruku was...

This plus A Song of Ice and Fire has made me wait buying book series until at least 3 books are released. Great start with nothing behind it.

Agreed. For kids getting into fantasy, Eddings is a fine start. Terry Pratchett's Discworld is also great. Some are young adult but he weaves characters across 41 books, which is impressive.

For less complex reading, The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman is something I enjoyed when I was younger. Weddings has already been mentioned. I liked the Elenium and Tamuli better than Belgariad and Mallorean. Sparhawk is good. Abercrombie has a young adult series, Half a...
