[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 6671679, member: 3649"] So far for July: Residue (Jack Bishop) (Volume 1) Steve Diamond. YA SF and horror. I set this aside a few chapters in when Dan Wells' new book (The Devil's Only Friend) dropped, then didn't pick up either :) So far it looks like it has potential. Traitor's Blade by Sebastien de Castell - Musketeer-like fantasy with low magic. The King, who wanted to reign in the power of the abusive Dukes, is dead, killed by those same Dukes. The leader of the Greatcoats, the King's elite band of magistrates, gave the order for the Greatcoats not to fight. Now, five years later, the Dukes are about to make their power over the people even more unassailable than it already is. I liked this book quite well up until the last four chapters or so, when it seems to pull a Dues Ex Machina out of it's hat. The story is not done yet, though, and I'll see what happens in Knight's Shadow. The Thorn of Dentonhill: A Novel of Maradaine -- Marshall Ryan Maresca -- Maresca has another dovetail series, the Maradaine Constabulary, which also sounds fun. I'm just a little ways into this but our hero is basically a lower-powered fantasy Batman - A magic student at the city University, Veranix's parents were killed by a local crimelord, so now he's living a double life - student by day, and by night he sneaks out to become as much a thorn in this guy's side as possible. A classic example of a low-level rogue/mage combo. So far, I'm loving it. [/QUOTE]
