White Shores - The Vitalis Chronicles #1

I met Jay Swanson playing Counter-Strike GO late last year.  After a few games we started discussing books and I was please to find out that Jay and I shared a common interest in the books we enjoy reading.  I was even more surprised when he told me he was a fantasy author and pointed me in the direction of his work. Tho it took me some time to finally get the time and motivation to read the book, I was not disappointed in the least.

Legion

To say Brandon Sanderson out did himself with this novella would be an understatement.  Though we have come to expect unique and compelling plots from the author that has taken over the writing of the Wheel of Time series, Legion brings something totally new to the already incredible arsenal of books Sanderson has written.  This book introduces  a main character with a very interesting mental condition.  Join me in this review of "Legion" and meet to the multiple personalities of Stephen Leeds, who just happen to have personalities of their own, and as you get to know them each on a more personal level, you will have to decide for yourself if these "aspects" of his personality are real or, well, just part of his imagination!

More to come soon!

By Grace and Banners Fallen

The Wheel of Time's 14th book "A Memory of Light" is not set to be released until January of next year, however; that didn't stop the publishers from giving us a $2.99 sample of the book.  The prologue to the next wheel of time book craftly titled "By Grace and Banners Fallen" gives us a brief sample of what is to come.  This prologue is a little untraditional from the previous books as instead of following a character briefly and then moving on, we find ourselves jumping back to Talmanes on a number of occasions.  So join me as I review "By Grace and Banners Fallen" and let's find out how the Band of The Red  Hand is preparing for the final battle!

The Alloy of Law

300 years after the original Mistborn trilogy we find ourselves in a familiar world now consumed with modern vices. Electricity, motor cars, and even skyscrapers now occupy the thriving city known now as Elendel. The world may have moved on since the days of Vin, Elend, and the Lord Ruler, but Allomancy and Feruchemy are still a force to be reckoned with. Join me in this review of "The Alloy of law" as I introduce you to our newest hero in Scadrial, Waxillium "Wax" Ladrian.

The Wind Through the Keyhole

Though the Dark Tower series has been completed since 2003, there was always that gap between books 4 and 5 that was left a mystery.

Join me as I review "The Wind Through the Keyhole" and talk about Rolands coming to age tale introduced in these pages.
