Xenocide (Ender, Book 3) (Ender Quartet)
Orson Scott Card
Tor Books, 1996
An O.K. Book in the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card
This is the third book in Card's "Ender" series. After finding it hard to put the first two down, the third is a disappointment. Xenocide tries to span the known universe - with plots and sub-plots taking place on several of the 'Hundred Worlds'. It drags in a lot of places and is just too long ...

Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5)
Stephen King
Pocket, 2006
The Wolves of Calla...an excellent addition to the Dark Tower series
+ Defending A City In Gunslinger Tradition
+ Keeps getting better!
This is my favorite book of the Dark Tower series.
I've never been a huge fan of horror (Stephen King's or anyone's else) but the fantasy aspect of this particular series has really caught my attention. And in truth this is much more fantasy than your typical Stephen King horror.
In their ...

Terry Goodkind
Tor Books, 2007
Hanging on every last word!
+ "Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self."
+ You'll never guess the ending
So of course all the other books in The Sword of Truth series I read in break-neck speed, I was excited and couldn't wait to read what was next, but not this one. I held on to every word, couldn't bare to turn the page because I knew it was drawing me closer to the last. I let myself absorb and ...

A Lick of Frost (Meredith Gentry, Book 6)
Laurell K. Hamilton
Ballantine Books, 2007
I love this series!
+ She's done it again!
+ Great series
I can't get enough of Merry Gentry's world. Love it. Better than the Anita Blake series. Love the play on Celtic lore, the love story, the push for non christian perspectives. Absolutely adore Dole. Laurell finally got a powerful man right, no breaking this one down into fluff like she did with her ...
