Recently I have been on a fantasy reading binge. I’ve just been sucking them down.
The first three, from the library, are a fun little story about a slum girl who becomes an extremely powerful magician. It was good enough to be disappointed that the series is a trilogy and there will be no more, but not so good that the disappointment lasted long.
I bought the following on my Kindle, as they were either free or very reduced price. Some of the linked prices are apparently for gold plated special editions, but on the kindle they were all about $7.
The novels are a sort of “Hornblower goes to Pern” story. That’s right: the British Navy is fighting Napoleon again, but with dragons! Tiny bit of interesting social differences among the dragon riders, too, as some of the most powerful dragons will only allow themselves to be ridden by women.
And, lastly, also from the library the most recent installment of the Codex Alera by one of my favorite authors, Jim Butcher.
