Naill has a pile problem! And quite a large one it is too! He has an ARC of Best Served Cold – I know a few people that will be so so jealous! I’m still an Abercrombie virgin so that feeling hasn’t hit me yet. I want to know what the spiral bound thing is!
Orbit have acquired the last two books in Jim Butcher’s traditional fantasy series -The Codex Alera – now I can’t remember if they’ve had a UK release or not. I think not but I’m not putting any bets on it. Anyway all six books are getting some stunning covers. Books 1 to 4 are getting (re)release in May with Princep’s Fury and First Lord’s Fury following in December 2009 and May 2010!
Aiden carries and comments on Patrick Rothfuss’ blog post about why The Wise Man’s Fear ain’t done yet. As edifanob fan says in the comments, ‘Authors are human beings!’ Quite and you can see why Rothfuss is taking his time. And he should take all the time he needs. Strangely I feel much more sympathy for him than GRRM but that’s probably as I see GRRM as a more seasoned professional…
Anyway, there is plenty more to read in the meantime as Niall knows as does anyone who read Robert’s Spotlights. March’s 2009 selection on Fantasy Book Critic is HUGE! Lots I like.
Sandstorm Reviews reviews Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell:
I was in the middle of reading several other books when the review copy of Beat the Reaper dropped onto the mat. On my way to add it to the depressingly ever-growing Stack, I happened to glance at the first few paragraphs… and that was it, I was hooked.
It now might make it to the March reading pile… but more of that in another post. Great recommendation.
Speaking of great recommendations, Walker of Worlds has an enchanting review of Evil Ways by Justin Gustainis ending with, ‘I’ll be a fan of Quincey and Libby for life.’ Quite a commitment for any read that!
Walker of Worlds also has Sci-Fi Book Releases for March 2009. Some great stuff there!
I’ve just found an early review of God of Clocks by Alan Campbell. A great quote is:
One of the things I like about these books is the lack of spurious love affairs. There seems to be a rule in the world of publishing, and more so in the world of fiction, that every novel has to be boilable-down to “boy meets girl.” Campbell has other objectives…
And that ends this weeks selection from the RSS feeds. And surprisingly it actually took quite a while even if it doesn’t look that much.
