I’ll do it.
Or I won’t.
Either way the sun will rise,
New born babies will cry,
And people old,
or not,
will die.

The Alchemy of Stone

A fascinating exploration of freewill versus dependence. This book was so beautifully written, I did not want it to end. Four, self wound, clockwork stars.

The Final Empire (Mistborn, Book 1)

Sandersen not only saves the WoT series, but writes amazing action fantasy to boot. Four very satisfied stars.

A Darkness Forged in Fire: Book One of the Iron Elves

Poor character development and ungainly pacing mar this otherwise exciting story. The refreshing change of setting for a fantasy novel is not a gimmick, it really adds a lot. Two stars.

Ugh, third time I tried the NaNoWriMo, and third time I failed. I’m still writing more than I’ve been in the last few years. I’m putting together the last two scenes in a short story I started back in August. I’m pretty excited about this one. I’ll no doubt post it here when I’m done.
