I'm just about finished reading Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Ascension.

This installment saw some character shifting that has been building for a while and it was nice to finally see it happen. I only hope it doesn't end in tragedy. I do wonder if the rest of this book, or the next will begin moving the pieces into place to show how things got to be how they are in the Legacy comics.
I've had a budding theory from the beginning of this series that Luke will be the one to either perish/sacrifice himself at the end of "Fate of the Jedi."
It's simply the thinking I've had which has been prompted by certain comments he's made in the past, and particular Force-events which surround him. I've begun saying to myself... "This may be the last time we hear Luke say this." And such.
[Besides, Ben Skywalker needs to remain separate from his father in order to grow as a character, I think.]
I was actually surprised when only Chewie died in the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. That seemed like a good series to finish off some of the original cast (And, ideally, see the Solo children take over as the main characters of the series. Alas, 2/3 of the Solo children are dead, but from reading the Legacy comments I think I know that the bloodline does live on.) |

Just finished The King's Bastard, by Rowena Cory Daniells. I really liked it but towards the end of the book the stupidity of the characters was beginning to wear a bit thin. Hope they smarten up in the next 2 books of the series.
Just started A Brief History Of The Samurai: The Way Of Japan's Elite Warriors, by Jonathan Clements. I love that era of history and can't wait to read this historians take on the period. |

I've recently finished reading Moon of the Spider by Richard A. Knaak. The necromancers Zayl and Karybdus and the untrained sorceress Salene have been interesting from beginning to end, and look like the only ones who act with a shred of logic. Almost everyone else, including the demon Astrogha himself, is unfortunately dull.
The battles are done with sense and vividness. The main conflict, which is actually just caused by different interpretations of Rathma's teachings, is credible in its simplicity and execution. Knaak seems to love guessing games, so don't be surprised if you'd be doing a lot of guessing as you read this novel.
Knaak describes enough of the world of Diablo that you can easily picture the places pertinent to the story. However, there are times when the descriptions appear...lacking.
How magic works in Diablo is an unexplored territory. Knaak doesn't bother to explain it, either. On the other hand, as both the hero and the villain are necromancers, you'll learn and see a couple of interesting necromantic spells, some are variations of what you might have known in Dungeons and Dragons. I specially like the one that Zayl used on the wendigo (a certain giant-size creature tainted by the madness of the Prime Evils) in an attempt to rid Karybdus of his soul...
As for the ending... Well, honestly, I sort of expected something grander, and not yet another cliché. But somehow---and that's maybe because I like Zayl so much---it still left me satisfied. Besides, it becomes obvious that it's open for a possible sequel...
Overall, I like the book and would recommend it to fantasy readers. To those who are new to the setting, you can start discovering its wonders by reading this stand-alone book.
Edit: I first rated it 7. However, after rereading the last three chapters, I thought I should give it 8 out of 10 possible stars. |

I am reading Nagash the Sorcerer by Mike Lee. Truly epic. Extreme carnage even in the first three chapters. Nagash is stunning, and is most probably the epitome of (evil) necromancy across all fantasy settings. |

I am also reading A Secret Edge by Robin Reardon. It instructs without sounding preachy, and it entertains without shredding honesty. The story is a slow and at times painful journey towards self-discovery and acceptance. A story of first love that helps define how an individual would turn out to be. A real story of real people who are willing to take risks in pursuit of their happiness. I can hardly put it down! [It seems like Nagash would have to wait...] |

Wow.
I just finished Swords of Eveningstar and...what happened? I think I had a similar feeling of "WTF" from reading Hand Of Fire (the worst of Ed's books, sadly).
I wanted the story of how a band of restless Espar youths accidentally saved the King and were given a charter to clear out the Haunted Halls and inside through luck and wit and sacrifice were able to kill a Zhent mage and explore the Halls and get treasure.
What I got was a great beginning, a weird middle, and a very awful Deus Ex machina ending that made me kinda not want to read the rest.
I love Ed, a lot. I'm a huge fanboy and for creating the Realms I would take a bullet for the guy (well...in a limb someplace), but this book had so much promise and such a great beginning and could have gone so well. I feel a bit let down.
I think I'll start Bury Elminster Deep tonight, I bought it the day it was released but have waited. |

It surprises me that Reardon takes the teachings of Ghandi to the extreme. Good thing she more or less balances them by providing a wise character, Audrey. |

Who wrote it? I have an interest in many areas of history, including Ancient Egypy, but there are usually so many books in publication it is difficult to know where to start. Let me known if its any good. |

Which is sort of a plus, I suppose, because it's given me time to re-read the last few books in the series. |

It surprises me that Reardon takes the teachings of Ghandi to the extreme. Good thing she more or less balances them by providing a wise character, Audrey.
I just finished reading this gem. It is written in first person point of view, and in the present tense. The advantage of having it in the first POV is seeing the wide spectrum of Jason Peele's emotions and internal struggle, which help “peel” the truths slowly, and sometimes, painfully.
Jason lives in a world peopled by those who understand who and what he is, those who are trying to, and those who don't at all. How he copes with the others' prejudice is depicted in honest and unapologetic ways. I am also impressed by how Reardon puts depth to Jason's relationship with his Indian teammate Raj, and how delicately she tackles cultural differences.
Overcoming pride is one of the lessons in this book. And Reardon depicts is as deftly as she has everything else. Jason once said, “If Raj really loves me, that will have to be more important to him than his pride. And if that's not the case, then it's not a love I want.”
I understand Robin's attempt at making it clear that violence should only be considered as the last resort, and that weapons should serve more as deterrent rather than as means to start a fight. Violence is not always the answer, but it's impossible to totally eschew it, either. I'd like to quote these lines from the last chapter:
quote:
Back in the chair, I go to the yellow sticky marker on which I see the numeral one, and I read. “'I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.'” I look up. Raj's eyes are on me, intent. He nods once, so I find the second marker. “'Nonviolence in its dynamic condition means conscious suffering. It does not mean meek submission to the will of the evil-doer, but it means the putting of one's whole soul against the will of the tyrant. Working under this law of being, it is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honor, his religion, his soul, and lay the foundation for the empire's fall or its regeneration.'”
Raj says, “In our case, one of these unjust empires is a world where you and I are not
allowed to love. We must defy this. Do you agree?”
[.......]
The next one says that only a worm crawling at the bidding of a bully will be afraid or unwilling to use violence to defend family and loved ones if nonviolence doesn't succeed. I like this one. A lot. When I finish reading it, Raj is smiling at me. “You were very clever, taunting those bullies the way you did, and you managed everything without resorting to violence. But I know that if you had no other choice, you would have used your knife.” He leans back and shuts his eyes. “You have taught me much.”
[.......]
At the next sticky, I read, “'In life it is impossible to eschew violence completely'” I look up. “I know this one! It's my favorite, like the one you love about the edge of the sword.” He smiles at me, and I read on. 'The question arises, where is one to draw the line? The line cannot be the same for everyone. Although essentially the principle is the same, yet, everyone applies it in his or her own way. What is one man's food can be another's poison.'”
Jason has drawn the line when to and when not to resort to violence, and it is something that Raj eventually understands.
I am impressed by this novel. It treats serious issues with a balanced sense of lightness, and emphasizes that as long as there is love, there is always hope.
Highly recommended! Out of 10 possible stars, I give it 9.

I just finished City of Torment and am now onto Key of Stars to round out the Abolethic Sovereignty trilogy. After this I am probably going to read the second Unbroken Chain novel. I will probably try to read some non Realms books after that.
I've also started on a pile of Marvel comics I bought from a few sources (GenCon, Amazon, Borders going out of business). I've been trying to get Ed Brubaker's entire Captain America run (up to this point, since he's still writing) and I have enough of it now to start reading and make it past the Death of Captain America arc. I also picked up Taskmaster: Unthinkable because I always thought the character concept of Taskmaster sounded interesting. A guy who can copy any fighting moves he has seen (or any other moves for that matter) and who uses this knowledge to train all the henchmen employed by Marvel's various villain groups. I think the bit that sealed my interest was a description of an issue involving him where he watched a Kung Fu movie on fast forward so he could fight at high speed. I thought the book was great. There are a few revelations about Taskmaster's past that could go a lot of ways. There is also plenty of humor to keep things going. It's only 4 issues so it goes by pretty quick. |

I just finished rereading The Purifying Fire by Laura Resnick. Honestly, I didn't want to reread it, because the first time I did, I nearly threw the book. But it has some helpful lore about pyromancy that I think I can use for my short story...
The Purifying Fire is the second book in the Planeswalker series. It tells the story of Chandra Nalaar, a pyromancer who escapes the nightmares of her past, finds refuge in a keep of fire mages where she learns to harness her growing power, and in her recklessness gains enemies that threaten to tip the balance in the realm she's grown to like and endanger the very lives of the people she cares about.
This novel is intended more for Magic: The Gathering readers. Those who have never read a novel set in this world will be very lost, as Resnick does not bother providing enough background story or descriptions of certain personages and places.
Resnick does not give excellent descriptions of the planes, but I say they are sufficient for those who are quite familiar to the setting. Of the all the realms Chandra has visited, it is Diraden that has been well evoked.
Those who like the psionicist Jace Beleren will be happy to see him again in this book, though his appearance is just short.
Resnick seems to grasp the concept of pyromancers in the world of Magic: The Gathering. She presents them realistically, or rather she (mostly) adheres to the rules. Control is the pyromancers's weakest virtue, and freedom and self-preservation, the strongest. Chandra practically burns down an entire sanctum to escape her pursuers, nearly heedless of the innocent lives lost amidst the conflagration and collapse.
Gideon, the planeswalker who has saved Chandra in as many times as she's saved him, is portrayed as a capable, real warrior. His presence alone might attract readers who prefer fighters to mages.
My biggest problem with this novel is the over-romanticizing of Chandra and Gideon's relationship. Resnick treats MtG like Harlequin at times. I nearly tore the book upon stumbling on the very cheesy parts.
There are also a lot---and I am not exaggerating here---really a lot of spelling errors. It looks like no one from Wizards of the Coast deigned to edit the manuscript.
The plot is pretty much simple and predictable. Even Chandra's background story is a cliché that has been used for a million times in fiction (of all genres). The Purifying Fire itself (not the title) is disappointing, too. I expected something grander, or at the very least, something new, not a white fire that is supposed to clean one's soul. While the fiery battle scenes are engaging sometimes, the fact that Chandra almost always wins and destroys everything eventually becomes tiresome.
There is hardly any part of the novel that I enjoyed. This is quite a disappointment. WotC should have let Ari Marmell write about Chandra, as he has done a magnificent job in Agents of Artifice, the first installment in the Planewalker series.
Out of ten possible stars, I give it 5. |
