Pick up the first book, Way of Shadows, when you feel up to it. My bf pestered me into it, but I'm so glad he did. I picked up the first book and intended only to read the first page to see how it was, but I ended up reading the first few chapters before putting it down! It is about assassins but it gets more into magic as it goes on.

Currently I am reading "The Fall of Kings" by Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman. I haven't read much until now, just started a few days ago after finishing "Swordspoint" and "The Privilege of the Sword", which both play in the same universe.

I am struggling through book 4 of WoT. I don't know why I bother. This is the third reading attempt.

I thought WoT longwinded and hard to get into.

I just finished the last WoT book. I was an epic ending to what is in my opinion the greatest fantasy series ever!

I have finally started Game of Thrones. I couldn't decide between starting that series or Wheel of Time... I decided that with a busy semester coming up, GoT was less of a commitment! I will have much more time for reading in only six months

I've read only part of the book, but enough to know that the film was total bogus.

Yeah, it's a title I've heard before.
It's a great read if you like historical sci-fi. And if you're into sci-fi as a whole, it's a must-read and IMO to sci-fi what Tolkien was to fantasy. |

I have started Bloodring by Faith Hunter, http://www.amazon.com/Bloodring-Rogu...ords=bloodring since I lovelovelove her Jane Yellowrock stories. Finding it tough sledding though, since Thorn is much less sympathetic (to me) than Janey.
