Dave Musson's review
of
Other Worlds Than These (The Talisman, #3):
"Where to even start with reviewing a new Stephen King book?
The man is such a literary force that he will always attract positive write-ups by the bucketload - particularly when he’s tapping into much-loved older material such as The Talisman saga an" Read more of this review » |

is on page 237 of 512 of Lord of a Shattered Land: Really enjoying this modern take on a fantasy serial. The story and characters are intriguing, the writing is easy to get into and the world building borrows from real history, but twists it into it's own being. The only bad thing is that I recent bought a omnibus version of Attack of Titan and my brain won't stop thinking about it, so I'm gonna this book a small break and get my addiction over with.

“My book experiences on board of the frigate proved an example of a fact which every book-lover must have experienced before me, namely, that though public libraries have an imposing air, and doubtless contain invaluable volumes, yet, somehow, the books that prove most agreeable, grateful, and companionable, are those we pick up by chance here and there; those which seem put into our hands by Providence; those which pretend to little, but abound in much.”

“For, contrary to the common opinion, it is the wealthy who are greedy of wealth; while the populace are to be gained by talking to them about liberty, their unknown god. And so much are they enchanted by the words liberty, freedom, and such like, that the wise can go to the poor, rob them of what little they have, dismiss them with a hearty kick, and win their hearts and their votes for ever, if only they will assure them that the treatment which they have received is called liberty.”
