The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure

The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure is the first of the Wraeththu Histories trilogy that Storm Constantine wrote about 17 years after writing the original Wraeththu Chronicles. This book begins about halfway through the first of the original Wraeththu books, The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, and ends shortly before the ending of the last of the original Wraeththu books, The Fulfillments of Fate and Desire. For that reason, I would not recommend reading this review unless you have read […]

On Vacation in Montreal

I am on vacation in Montreal this week so I probably won’t be writing much, although I had some time to read while driving down. And I’ve had some time to read today since I’m not really sure what to do with myself since my fiance is at his conference (the reason we’re down here). Tomorrow we’ll be able to do more, at least. Of course, I had to find the nearest bookstore and I found one, Bertrand’s Bookstore, right […]

Fortunately, the second book Breath and Bone is already completed and is supposed to be out in January 2008 so there is not a long wait for the closing volume. Valen, our hero – er, anti-hero – is a Pureblood, a sorcerer whose life is controlled by the […]

Robert Jordan Has Passed Away

It has been announced on the Robert Jordan’s blog that the author of the beloved Wheel of Time series died at 2:45 this afternoon. It is very sad that he died so young of the rare disease amyloidosis, and I am sorry to hear it. It sounded like he was very optimistic about getting better, and for a while he sounded as though he was doing much better than expected. At least he died peacefully with his family and the […]

Coming Up

I know, I promised a review of Lamb by Christopher Moore and I haven’t gotten it up here yet. I will at some point before I forget what happened. Currently, I’m continuing my quest to read more of the books released in 2007 with the newest novel by Carol Berg, Flesh and Spirit. This is the first book of two in the Lighthouse Duology. I believe the second book will be out in March 2008. I was considering putting up […]
