Umm. Rather bored at the moment.

Almost there now!

OK, I think she might be tall, just from the subtle hint or two that Sanderson includes. I can imagine he had an 'atypical princess' klaxon he set going whenever he was writing Sarene's chapters.

I could read an entire book of Logen and Ferro.

Flying through this. Abercrombie has written a compulsive series here. I love the fragmented story line of an Empire in crisis and think the way the author handles the scenes of violence is arresting, especially given in most fantasy one can become blasè about the frequent hack and slash.

Things getting rather serious for me old mucker, Glokta.

Ugh. The chapter on miracles was a slog. Hoping the section on the teachings of Jesus will be a little more focused.

This sort of feels like Lies of Locke Lamora (setting and plot) meets Mistborn (MC, action and magic). It's a synthesis which really works though, aside from a few info-dumpy bits, the plot moves with real pace, and also no romance so far.

This book is so much fun!
